Awake yon' minister
There is message to be delivered
Awake young passenger
Awake your country

You're going to need to find some strength now
Wake up!

In this war without an end
What peace do you defend
In this war without an end
What fear do you depend on?

I dare you

    General Comment:Is that what it said on the cd cover? Thanks for posting it!
    I love this song! I love how Patrick counts the casualties, it's so intense.
    On first thoughts i thought Count of Casualty was about the war in Iraq. Does the cd cover say anything about Hard Times by the way? I get the feeling Patrick refers to the Global Finanacial Crisis and September 11, but i could be wrong again.

    General Comment:This song is about stopping apathy and laziness in this generation, going out and starting revolutions and 'counting your casualnties', meaning counting all the things you do that are too casual.

    Some of the 'Count of casualties' need to be 'count YOUR casualties'
