Story Behind The Song

A quote from the essay, "Six Months On: What I Have Learned About Grief." by Janet Burroway says it best: "What I struggle to understand is why, in the first place, young men love battle and old men send them into it. Why is it that, generation after generation from Troy to Tikrit, we mourn the pointless waste of a generation in THAT war, discover the mismanagement of generals and lies of bureaucrats, and then for THIS war trot out again the same phatic phrases: ultimate sacrifice, love of country, finest hour?" Or perhaps Rudyard Kipling's "A Dead Statesman": "I could not dig: I dared not rob: Therefore I lied to please the mob. Now all my lies are proved untrue And I must face the men I slew. What tale shall serve me here among Mine angry and defrauded young?"

Song Description

Lyrics

YOUR VISION

Depreciate the downside
And hide behind the aegis of the landslide
Of facts unchecked and fidelity slighted
Opinions shaped and left misguided
Your vision will keep the world from peace tonight


The struggle won?t reach the ones asleep
Until it?s gone away and all we say
Is everything we thought we should?ve
I know you may have good intent but
Your chasing of transitory
Has sadly become the story
And I for one object

Wrong is wrong
No matter how you justify it so,

And all these directions you choose to lead
End in dead ends and we?ll pick up the pieces again
Paranoia is the order of the day
Catchphrases mislead us from grey
And your cocksure bravado is clumsy and hollow
And I for one object

Wrong is Wrong
No matter how you justify it so, so
