Poignant

Mission Profile by Threshold

can we go on
can we be strong

we've got a system
you're going to use it
we call it freedom
and you are free to choose it
if you're not against it
you've got to be for it
neutral is dangerous
and you cannot ignore it

can we go on
forcing our hand
can we be strong
till others understand
can we go on
to save our wounded land
can we be wrong

we've got the money
we're going to spend it
peace is our mission
we'll murder to defend it
sooner or later
you'll get the picture
we're the creator
and you were just created

devastation
is where we're heading if we follow this illusion
escalation
of all the hurting that is borne of our confusion
unrelenting
as we persist in putting everyone beneath us
never ending
until we understand our honesty deceives us

there is still one truth
on which we can depend
we've started something we can never end

we know
although
we try
to justify the means
the truth
behind
the end remains unseen
and while
we all
assume we all agree
we're giving
up the freedom to be free

disillusion
is always possible but we've got propaganda
mass confusion
is always better than the threat of understanding
we'll deceive you
we've got so many ways to make you stand behind us
if we need to
we'll use them on ourselves to constantly remind us

there is just one lie
that we can still defend
we've started something we can never end

we know
although
we try
to justify the means
the truth
behind
the end remains unseen
and while
we all
assume we all agree
we're giving
up the freedom to be free

there is still one truth
on which we can depend
we've started something we can never end

we know
although
we try
to justify the means
the truth
behind
the end remains unseen
and while
we all
assume we all agree
we're giving
up the freedom to be free
