As It Was, as It Soon Shall Be Songtext
von Exodus

We didn′t pay attention to lessons learned in the past
Soon the sands in the desert will melt from the atomic blast
Mesopotamia's ground zero for the coming of world war
Thousands die in the sand but I still don′t understand what for

As it was, as it soon shall be
We're teetering on the brink of a World War III
A repetition of history as you soon shall see
As it was, as it soon shall be

Warmongering leader of ours waves the flag of democracy
Sending our men out to die in the name of bureaucracy
The oil fields of Iraq are overflowing with blood
Another man dies but the lies rain down like a flood


As it was, as it soon shall be
We're teetering on the brink of a World War III
A repetition of history as you soon shall see
As it was, as it soon shall be

No weapons of mass destruction, no threat to me
Just one man′s agenda for war, not a land of the free
I never gave a shit about the Middle East
But now we lie in the bed that we′ve made, start the atomic feast

As it was, as it soon shall be
We're teetering on the brink of a World War III
A repetition of history as you soon shall see
As it was, as it soon shall be

As it was, as it soon shall be
As it was, as it soon shall be
As it was, as it soon shall be
As it was, as it soon shall be
