N.C.
We request to negotiate
N.C.
We come to you unarmed
N.C.
We desire to communicate
N.C.
You cannot do us harm

FF
They want sacrifice
C majorC             G+G           D MajorD
They hatch schemes and ask me to follow their path to the afterlife
FF
I've got an appetite
C majorC           G+G          D MajorD
For nice things and pipe dreams that my enemies could be blasted by
FF
New metaphors

C majorC             G+G         D MajorD
View that are better for you can't survive if I'm your competitor
FF         C majorC
Rise together or fight separate wars
G+G          E minorEm
I pray I'm never forced to be a predator

FF
Spectres spectate
C majorC
We wont last
G+G
They glad to hate
When gladiators
D MajorD
Breathe their last
FF
Scream en masse
    C majorC
When the dreams do clash
      G+G
Like the swords in the wars
    D MajorD
Let me bleed on that
FF
But they feed on that
   C majorC
Say we need strong backs
G+G
Call us weak
         D MajorD
If we don't redeem contracts
     FF
But the feast wont last
     C majorC
When this beast attacks
   G+G
The sons and the fatherS
    D MajorD
Will be free at last

    FF        C majorC
This is love this is not treason (x4)

FF            C majorC
They see sharks in the estuary
G+G          D MajorD
They claim the arc's Bartholomew's
FF        C majorC
They say war is necessary
G+G         D MajorD
But we say war is child abuse

       FF     C majorC     G+G
We'd rather make our children martyrs than murderers
       FF     C majorC    G+G

Core-to-core
     C majorC
Were the ones
We've been waiting for
G+G
We hold steady
D MajorD
Steadier than stevedores
FF       C majorC
Not tevias or matadors
G+G         D MajorD
On matters of what came before
FF
Forgive the debts
  C majorC
To settle scores
G+G
Test the mettle
D MajorD
Either or

FF            C majorC
Whats your plan got to do with me
    G+G       D MajorD
If the bell tolls let freedom ring
FF            C majorC
And find new ways if we must be King
      G+G            D MajorD
Instead of leading the young to our suffering

FF          C majorC
We pass testaments down scream back at heaven
G+G          D MajorD
For testing us like Wednesdays at eleven
FF              C majorC
Wanna recruit and train us to act evilly?
G+G                 D MajorD
Save it for the shooting range and smack DVDs
FF         C majorC
Won't study war no more this millennium
G+G          D MajorD
It's never again to me or anyone
FF         C majorC
So think harder when you refer to us
G+G             D MajorD
Rather make our children martyrs than murderers

    FF         C majorC
This is love, this is not treason (x4)

FF          C majorC
They shell dwellings to quell the shelling
G+G         D MajorD
They lift taboos to seduce the cowards
FF         C majorC
They say we're too yellow-bellied
  G+G          D MajorD
But we say we're the new superpower

      FF     C majorC    G+G
We'd rather make our children martyrs that murderers
      FF     C majorC    G+G
We'd rather make our children white flag warriors

FF        C majorC
We seek waivers to not be liable
G+G            D MajorD
We claim to speak for a higher truth
FF            C majorC
We stand opposed to the homicidal

Do what you want to our courage
G+G        D MajorD
Ask us what you will
FF        C majorC
Demand from us a sacrifice
 G+G        D MajorD
But do not make us kill
