lyrics

Behind closed doors
Are the whispers and the rumours of war
Drawn in lives
Are the regiments and battle lines
Entrenched in hearts
Are the wounded and the victory scars
Where it starts with the echo in the distance
The rumours and the whispers of war

The silence rings
Louder than bombs upon killing fields
The bitter sting
Of betrayal at the hand of a friend
The veteran’s stripes
Are nothing on this hospital ward
A victim of the echoes in the distance
The rumours of the whispers of war

You can fight them all off
But you know they won't win
Under the mountains of rubble and earthquakes of sin
But the darkness envelops like cloak under dagger and pin
Take your malice and hurt
Go spit in their face
You and I are corrupted
We're fallen from grace both a disgrace
To the name that we bear
We're a shame and sons of grace

Wounds from a trusted one are deep
They kill you inside, knock you off your feet
Fear and doubt overtake grace
But this is not the end, the end of your race
Stand your ground
Arise to your feet
The voice inside compels you to meet the battle head on
With no taste of defeat
For these are the rumours and whispers of war!

When all that is left tastes bitter as gaul
You were grace and salvation tainted by the fall
But God loves a sinner and you... don't we all?
Once brothers in arms, I'm poised to attack
At the first chance I get I'd stab you in the back
Brutus to Caesar and Judas to Jesus
And ends that!

Behind close doors are the whispers and the rumours of war
Behind those doors they are scheming and they’re plotting up war
Behind those doors what are discussing as they’re brewing and their cooking?
It ends and starts with the echoes in the distance
The rumours and the whispers
