Spoken: We have reached a time of war
Between the animals and our own
Therefore, you know that hanging ten stingrays
Isn't a bad thing, it's only a warning.
(The rest is sung.)

We have a peice of the ocean,
We have the ultimate sword,
Crawlin' out from its own post,
Blinded before they can reach,
As we all just lie there,
Watching a manslaughter take place,
Holdin' a hostage of the opposin' force,
Is nothing compared to whatever, whatever you have done here.

Chorus: Give up, surrender,
Time's catching up to you,
And this is what you know,
Again you'll ask the same old question,
Why are we doing this, tonight?
This is said to be a suicide mission,
Baby, come on, this is only a warning,
Making ammends with all of us, all of us.

Matchin' up to minds of children,
You know, morals don't exist,
For they don't fit this story,
All shaken' by horror seen within,
It's not too late to tremble,
Backin' away in fear,
They've won the battle,
Not standing up for war.

Repeat Chorus

We're lyin' in a war zone,
Battered and confused,
On where we stand,
This isn't a race to see the end,
We never wanted this to begin,
We haven't turned back,
I guess God wants us to win,
Taking control across the world.

Repeat Chorus

All of us (to fade)

I was actually thinking about the world and all the wars we've had. We haven't had a war between the animals and man, bringing me to write this song about one I've created.
