[Intro] Once there was a nation here Now there is no more. Once we fought to change our fears But now this is our war. This is our war                               This is our war                          [Bridge]        Aaug [Verse 1] Wash your mind out where’s your morals? How many people have to live this sorrow? Life should not be begged or borrowed How many really want to change tomorrow? We’re still playing the prideful game As we profile the enemy that we created. We’re still playing the prideful game With the cards on the table In the end we’re all the same   Where’s the compassion in the world today? Yeah we’re all the same   Until we find another way This  is  our [Chorus 1] Once there was a nation here Now there is no more. Once we fought for change arm in arm But now this is our war. [Bridge]        Aaug [Verse 2] Divisive words from ivory towers Seeds of intolerance turn into flowers. Countless fools and reckless cowards Rally the people in the quest for power. We’re still playing the prideful game As we profile the enemy that we created. We’re still playing the prideful game With the cards on the table In the end we’re all the same   Where’s the compassion in the world today? Yeah we’re all the same   Until we find another way This  is  our [Chorus 2] Once there was a nation here Now there is no more Once we fought for change arm in arm But now this is our war. Is this the land of segregation? Is this a place that we call home? Don’t let the old style generation Carry the flag for you and me no more. This is our war                     This is our war                          [Bridge 2] We’re into the red. We’re into the red. And as it burns the fire spreads. We’re under the threat. We’re under the threat. Will it still burn tomorrow? [Bridge 3] Once there was a nation here Now there is no more Once we fought to change are fears But now this is our war. [Chorus 3] Once there was a nation here Now there is no more Once we fought for change arm in arm But now this is our war. Is this the land of segregation? Is this a place that we call home? Don’t let the old style generation Carry the flag for you and me no more. Once there was a nation divided Now this is our war. Once we stand embraced arm in arm We stand for something more

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque une société qui a perdu son unité et ses valeurs, soulignant le fait qu'autrefois, les gens luttaient ensemble pour un changement positif. Aujourd'hui, elle dépeint un paysage de division où la guerre intérieure prend le pas sur les idéaux de solidarité. Elle interroge notre capacité à faire preuve de compassion et remet en question la manière dont le pouvoir est souvent manipulé par ceux qui détiennent l'autorité. Le contexte semble se situer dans une époque marquée par la division sociale, où la crainte et l'intolérance rendent difficile la quête d'un avenir meilleur. Les paroles mettent en lumière les conséquences des discours clivants et de la culture de l’individu contre le collectif, appelant à une réflexion sur nos responsabilités communes et la nécessité de créer un environnement plus inclusif.
