A Radical Dreamers journey through despair: and a band known as Disturbed.

This song is more of a fight versus the government. Its "Sacred Lie" Track 12.

Verse 1:
"My conviction is stronger today
As I fight to uncover your sacred lie
And the fear isn't going away
As the soldiers still die
Let your followers know their lives have been sold
For the good of your sacred lie
For the truth to be told
And the plan to unfold
We must start asking why"

--This song is no doubt about either A) the government or B) George W. Bush Jr. only. There is no one else I can think of when I hear this song. Seems Disturbed is on a mission to uncover the flaws within A or B. Also Known as the Sacred Lie. He is saying that soldiers are dying for a cause no one knows, and that they have sold their lives for A or B's cause. Then he says the only way to get the truth out is to ask the question "WHY?"--

Chorus:
"Don't you know the war is far from over now
What a stumbling block we've fallen over now
As our brothers die defending no one
The war is far from over now"

--David D. seems to think he has discovered that the war is not about defending a nation. It is over something else, that we currently do not know. And he assures us the war is not even close to ending.--

Verse 2:
"Liberation, a moral charade
For the cause is a part of your sacred lie
Damnation a moment away in all the world's eyes
It's the doom of us all
We give in to control for the sake of your sacred lie
Complications abound
You'll get used to the sound of alarms in your life"

--Again we are assured that defense and freedom is not the true goal. Liberation a moral charade, or a farce if you will per the singer, is a just a small act in the grand scheme. Many people say the war is going to the downfall of us, and we are sacrificing our will power to assist the lie.--

Chorus


Refrain:
"Give us a moment of peace in our lifetime [x7]
Give us a moment of peace right now"

--He has finally had enough and he is demanding peace... at first he just wants peace in our lifetime. But the last line, changes dramatically with one word, "NOW".--

Chorus (x2)

****This is one of Disturbed's more straight-forward songs. You don't have to really pick this one apart to find whats going on. They are not anti-war it seems, just they want the truth to come out of the mouth of the government officials, so people don't die in vain for a cause thats unclear******
