lyrics

We started a war; the blood of a thousand years
We feed in the interest of time
We feed on the fear
No more do we find a reprieve
No more do we choke
Aloft in a storm of deceit
Alight for the whole

Tourniquet, tourniquet
Tie it off or bleed away
Tourniquet, tourniquet
Or live to sin another day
And still we're finding bliss between-
cracks that hide within decay
Tourniquet, tourniquet
Tie it off or bleed away

How many more mothers must mourn a son?
How many more must die at the end of a gun?
How have we not leaned bitterly from our mistakes-
to bury our heads in the sand?
For what?
