HALOS

When there’s so much strife and doing wrong there’s one thing we can depend on
Denial of our connection that over time has come undone
It’s like the power of the sun: self-sustaining operation
With blindfolds on and conviction, a policy of hit and run

A strange feeling suddenly came over me as he smiled and shook his head
The way he looked at him… a hidden agenda crossed his plan
Is there anybody out there, someone who really cares?
Someone with power and vision and a war to declare

It’s such an endless charade
A campaign funded by hate
It could well be much too late
For redirecting our fate
Why are we so afraid
To take the smallest of blames?
No one knows who cast the first stone
So all have halos…

Can’t explain this interrelation, diplomacy and aggression
In eternal contradiction, and bound by law and convention
With hands firmly on the button, watching the other’s expression
And through the smiles we might be stunned to witness our own reflections

Am I ever gonna find it or should I realize I got to accept the impossible I’m sick and tired of all this talk about justice, who’s in control?
But I think I found a way today, yeah I really think I found a way
To handle trust I’ll clear my mind and question you until I’ll fucking die

It’s such an endless charade
A campaign funded by hate
It could well be much too late
For redirecting our fate
Why are we so afraid
To take the smallest of blames?
No one knows who cast the first stone
So all have halos…

And we see biblical prediction reaching surgical precision
Mankind’s final destination, some say the son of god will come
No redeeming left to be done, we all have found our salvation
In hands washed clean of suspicion are a bloody knife and a smoking gun

I’m feeling disillusioned as I’m walking down that road
I switch my TV on and see another story left untold
It’s what it is, it has come to this, there’s more to spill
You don’t believe in murder but you’re going for the kill…

It’s such an endless charade
A campaign funded by hate
It could well be much too late
For redirecting our fate
Why are we so afraid
To take the smallest of blames?
No one knows who cast the first stone
So all have halos…
