The Faint
"Fasciination"

"A Battle Hymn For Children"

Teacher, bring me to heaven
Or leave me alone.
Why make me work so hard when you know I work slow?
Don't make us watch you spray more powder on the walls
Show us a laser, take us to space or let us go

We've got violent games on pause at home

You've seen this haste take shape
Don't hide those guilty eyes
You gave us guns for toys,
We trained with crosshair scope

That in the name of peace we make war

Sergeant, I don't remember how you said to deal with guilt
I'm haunted by families grieving, even soldier's kids

Is it God against God, and the pawns are people?
If they're both the same God then the battle's over

Preacher
Am I gonna make it?
Am I going up?
Am I forgiven for the humans I've dropped?
It's not like a game once the guilt piles up
If I knew what I know now, it's easy to say I wouldn't go
I have violent games on pause at home

You know how hate takes shape
Don't hide those guilty eyes
You gave us guns for toys
Imposed beliefs, then pride

We were taught that God prefers the USA
Just like the billboard sign that says "God's Country"
If it's true that God roots for the USA,
Is every bomb we drop in God's name?
