Facedown - Wartime lyrics

Another all time favourite band! Still as awesome as in 1998!

Facedown was a popular Belgian band from the nineties.
They released two 7" "Friendship Is Everything", a "split" with Earthmover and one final album "Beyond All Horizons. Wartime is taken from this final release.

Aside from your feelings,
Aside from your ways.
Aside from the people,
That taught you to betray.

Persuasion through the fist,
Persuasion through the head.
Raging in revenge,
Raging to forget.

If you let action reign your freedom,
You'll be a slave to the same inconsequence,
Then you're no better than the rest.
Kicked back by intolerance.

Intolerance.
A true warrior is a thinker,
Seeking the key of liberation.
Not always in direct action
But in the means of education.

Every fourth one fights his struggle,
Several paths of war.
Some violent, some peaceful
But all with dedication in the core.
Behold your enemy.

Wartime.

Education.
Contemplation.
Dedication.
Salvation.

God no, put the guns away.
Because strength os in the mind.
Try to differ from the enemy.
