We request to negotiate

We come to you unarmed

We desire to communicate

You cannot do us harm

For one sacrifice,

They have schemes and ask me to follow their path to the afterlife

I've got an appetite

For nice things and the dreams that my enemies could be blasted by

Ooh metaphors

Views that are better for you can't survive or find your competitor

Rise together

Ooh fight separate wars I pray I'm never forced to be a predator

Suspecting

We won't last

They're glad to hate

When gladiators

Breathe their last

Scream en masse

When the dreams do clash

Like swords in the war

Let me bleed on that

Put the heat on that

Say we need strong backs

Call us weak

And don't redeem contracts

But the feast wont last

When this beast attacks

The sons and the fathers

Will be free at last

This is love, and not treason

This is love, and not treason

This is love, and not treason

This is love, and not treason

They see sharks in the estuary

They claim the arch of bartholomew's

They say war is necessary

But we say war is child abuse

We'd rather make our children (we request to negotiate)

Martyrs than murderers (we come to you unarmed)

We'd rather make our children (we desire to communicate)

White flag warriors (you cannot do us harm)

Core-to-core

They're the one's we've been waiting for

We hold steady,

Steadier than stevedores

...doesn't matter of what came before

Forgive the debts

And settle scores

And test the mettle

Either ore

What's your plan go to do with me?

If the bell tolls, let freedom ring

And find the new ways that we must be king

Instead of leading the young to our suffering

We pass testaments down scream back at heaven

For testing us like wednesday's at 11

Want to recruit and train us to act evilly

Save it for the shooting range

And smack dvds

So study war no more this millennium

It's never again for me or anyone

So think harder when you refer to us

Rather make our children martyrs than murders

This is love, and not treason

This is love, and not treason

This is love, and not treason

This is love, and not treason

They shell dwellings to quell the shellings

And lift taboos to seduce the cowards

They say we're too yellow bellied

But we say we're the new superpower

We'd rather make our children (we request to negotiate)

Martyrs than murderers (we come to you unarmed)

We'd rather make our children (we desire to communicate)

White flag warriors (you cannot do us harm)

We seek ways to not be liable

We claim to speak for a higher truth

We stand opposed to the homicidal

We tell you you are fire proof

We'd rather make our children (we request to negotiate)

Martyrs than murderers (we come to you unarmed)

We'd rather make our children (we desire to communicate)

White flag

Warriors

We'd rather make our children

We'd rather make our children

Do what you want to our courage

Ask us what you will

Demand from us a sacrifice

But do not make us kill
