	Story Behind the Song Andrew came to me (Tre) one night with a rad lick in E minor and a desperate little Offspring-esque pregression. We finally finished it with the rest of the band maybe 2 weeks later and played as an instrumental for a few months until we hit the studio. Maybe a week earlier I was driving around and ended up sitting outside a church before the first service as the sun was coming up, and got to thinking how many of them actually gave a thought to why they were there, or anywhere for that matter. The thought actually came back to me in a dream the night before we were recording vocals the next Saturday, and the minute I woke up I wrote out the lyrics. It's not just about a blind belief in God, but in anything. People have got to start thinking about their lives before they're over. Recorded a few hours later with no rehersal... Two takes, and W.A.R. was finally complete. Lyrics Two waves, one frequency Caught chasing their spade soul As the rest all take bets On who makes it home The falling sun casts longer Shadows than before But can we believe We'll live to see them reappear While darkness holds the floor The flashlights signal to the sky Promising themselves eternal life Trapped inside this sprial of A fear of God and truth and even... What's to fear? A man you've never seen Never seen One life, one day to live One answer yet unknown Don't make history before your life unfolds 2000 years our hearts sit readily at war So can you stare it in the face And say you're not afriad To die and be reborn The victims of our own design Practicing our prayers to leave that night Remind me of the way we used to be So I can pray for one more chance To live, to die, to fight, to breathe
