Thoughts after 9-11, the Afghanistan war and the Iraq war. What will become of us if we keep having to protect our shores from terrorism.

Too many young people are dying because of war, as a result of our freedom of speech, we must question why is there still war and what is it for?

Lyrics
Hold On for the Countdown
When will the countdown begin?
Wars fought on the grounds that we live in.
Rules in religion that we give in.
Hold back the water, never dive in.
Wait for the countdown to begin.
Infest the grounds after 10.
Destroy everything that rebuilds.
6-5-4-3-2-1, watch them destroy the fields.
Cornerstone is built upon fate.
Firing shots at each other, hate upon hate upon hate upon hate.
Hatred is what pours into the cup.
Rising and rising, till we have been filled up.
Wait for the countdown to begin.
Infest the grounds after 10.
Destroy everything that rebuilds.
6-5-4-3-2-1, watch them destroy the fields.
What could become of this?
Watching from distances, peace is what will be dismissed.
Hold for the countdown.
3-2-1
Hold for the countdown.
6-5-4-3-2-1
Hold on, we'll be gone.
Bombs exploding between us.
After the countdown, what will become of us?
