Lyrics for Mars
In the future, there will be no war The loneliness outside And the stones cry out for mercy Will they see the Lord The prophecy grows sight As it is written I am the god of war I reside in every creature Dispose of the future Or put away your sword In the future There will only be war The vanity outside And after all the devastation Will we see the Lord As it is written I am the producer I am the god of war I reside in every creature Dispose of the future Or put away your sword Love, peace, forgiveness And consequence, and trust, and patience Affection Determining how long I hold you in, there's nothing said, contemplate, rhapsody, and energy in tow The things to look for Love and peace, forgiveness And consequence, and trust, and patience Affection Determining how long I hold you in, there's nothing said, contemplate, rhapsody, and energy and all The things to look for Love I hold you in this fantasy, blasphemy, fallacy, and probably as fate The things we do for love
