the longest road

sticks and stones took a toll on me, but they aren't your strongest weaponry, you can take your shots but you best prepare, i can see smoke rising in the air, every move has a counter act, to turn the tides with a planned attack, you push me down, and the rest will rise, but first i'm singing a battle cry, fuses burn and wheels will turn, the ones who lie will never learn, it's all been done a dozen times, the ones who lie pay for their crimes, now it's time to tell the truth, the darkest hearts aren't bulletproof, the guns are drawn and your weakness showed, the path to war is the longest road, scars and wounds from the battleground, mark the moments that our drive was found, i've been beaten down in ages past, and i have seen how long the fire will last, fleeting thoughts don't take the prize, and i've seen the doubt within your eyes, when the movement comes and the people rise, i'll be the first one leading the battle cry, spent centuries forgetting, this bloodstained path you're setting, you know i've seen it all before, those with the constitution, to stand for revolution, write what the future has in store, don't hide the lies we can see, don't feed the fire within me, you strike me down and i'll be rising once again, don't doubt the fear that you know, don't miss what history shows, the war path will lead us to your end
