Seven Years

Lyrics

The cameras are all watching.

The leaders of every nation are there.

The document is laid out on the table,

A promise of a peace we all dreamed of.

A single pen is raised high for the world to see,

And then a signature.

A powerful man with a compelling voice,

He says the war is over now.

He says the fighting will stop forever.

We want to believe him so badly.

We want this new world to be true.

He promised us a time of peace,

A new dawn for all mankind.

A covenant for seven years,

A promise we believed was divine.

The nations cheered as one voice,

And we all finally breathed.

The perfect lie. The perfect end.

The celebrations start in the streets.

The news anchors are smiling.

People are hugging strangers and crying in the parks.

No one can imagine a world of pain is waiting.

They can't see the fine print,

Or the blade hidden behind the smiles.

He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.'

In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering.

He promised us a time of peace,

A new dawn for all mankind.

A covenant for seven years,

A promise we believed was divine.

The nations cheered as one voice,

And we all finally breathed.

The perfect lie. The perfect end.

The seven years have begun...
