This Is Our War Lyrics


Once there was a nation here
Now there is no more
Once we fought to change our fears
But now this is our war (This is our war)
This is our warWash your mind out, where's your morals?
How many people have to live this sorrow?
Life should not be begged or borrowed
How many really want to change tomorrow?We're still playing the prideful game
As we profile the enemy that we created
We're still playing the prideful game
With the cards on the table
In the end we're all the same
Where's the compassion in the world today?
Yeah, we're all the same
Until we find another way
This is our war (This is our war)Once there was a nation here
Now there is no more (This is our war)
Once we fought for change arm in arm

But now this is our warDivisive words from ivory towers
Seeds of intolerance turn into flowers
Countless fools and reckless cowards
Rally the people in the quest for powerWe're still playing the prideful game
As we profile the enemy that we created
We're still playing the prideful game
With the cards on the table
In the end we're all the same
Where's the compassion in the world today?
Yeah, we're all the same
Until we find another way
This is our war (This is our war)Once there was a nation here
Now there is no more (This is our war)
Once we fought for change arm in arm
But now this is our warIs this the land of segregation?
Is this a place that we call home?
Don't let the old style generation
Carry the flag for you and me no more
This is our war
This is our warWe're into the red, We're into the red
And as it burns the fire spreads
We're under the threat, We're under the threat
Will it still burn tomorrow?Once there was a nation here
Now there is no more
Once we fought to change our fears
But now this is our war (This is our war)Once there was a nation here
Now there is no more (This is our war)
Once we fought for change arm in arm
But now this is our warIs this the land of segregation?
Is this a place that we call home?
Don't let the old style generation
Carry the flag for you and me no more (This is our war)Once there was a nation divided
Now this is our war (This is our war)
Once we stand embraced arm in arm
We stand for something more

Billy Talent is a Juno Award-winning Canadian rock band formed in 1993. They performed and recorded together for about a decade before finding a wide mainstream following. Originally called Pezz, the group originates from Streetsville, in Mississauga, Ontario, but now hail from Toronto, Ontario.

The name is inspired by a character named "Billy Tallent" in the 1993 book "Hard Core Logo" by Michael Turner (filmed in 1996) and it has been the name of the band since 2001, after a dispute with the American Pezz.

To date, the band have released five studio albums, the first under the name Pezz named "Watoosh!", the second under the Billy Talent name is called "Billy Talent" with the third called "Billy Talent II". The fourth album,"Billy Talent III", released in 2009, was produced by Brendan O'Brien, who previously worked with AC/DC, Rage Against the Machine, Pearl Jam and The Offspring, among others.
The fifth album called "Dead Silence" was released in september 2012.

Billy Talent have also released a live DVD/CD, "666" featuring live performances from London, Dusseldorf, and the Rock Am Ring festival, held at the Nürburgring in Germany. They have also released two live albums from London and Manchester in September of 2006, of which only 500 of each exist.

Drummer Aaron Solowoniuk revealed that the song "This Is How It Goes" was written for him by Ben with the subject being Aaron's struggle with multiple sclerosis, in an open letter to fans posted on the official website in March 2006. As a sign of the dedication to finding a cure for MS, the band hold an annual show in Canada named "F.U.MS" in which all funds go towards the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada.
