Cycle Of Violence Lyrics - Singles - Behind Enemy Lines

It's the age-old conflict, the territorial dispute 

Endless accusations flying about who has wronged who 

Desperate determination to show no sign of weakness 

The leaders take action while their people pay the consequences 

Abandoning diplomacy, those in power unwilling to yield 

Playing stupid fucking politics that just get people killed 

Deciding that all out aggression is the best way to defend 

so the cycle of violence starts all over again 

It's a bloodbath in the west bank 

There is no end in sight 

Both sides are so consumed with avenging death 

that there's no respect for life 

Israeli soldiers are gunning down Palestinians 

Murdering children for throwing stones 

While Hamas is recruiting children to become martyrs 

and murder more Israelis as suicide bombers 

But the biggest obscenity of all of this hateful hostility 

has been reducing through action and rhetoric into a subhuman enemy 

The dehumanization of one another 

has been the justification for the horrific brutality 

It's a bloodbath in the Gaza strip 

There is no end in sight 

Both sides are so consumed with avenging death 

that there's no respect for life 

How many more? 

How long? 

Who's right? 

Who's wrong? 

Are they really so bloodthirsty in their hatred for the enemy 

that they're willing to disregard their own peoples safety? 

They make their own people targets with every act of aggression 

All in the name of teaching the enemy a lesson 

Innocent people imprisoned by the violence that the conflict creates 

Warmongers and butchers deciding everyone's fate 

How will there ever be peace with such human rights abuses? 

When you dehumanize humans then all humanity loses 

It's a bloodbath in Bethlehem 

There is no end in sight 

Both sides are so consumed with avenging death 

that there's no respect for life
