Peace
Agnostic Front Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In these times of war today
A choice must be made that no one wants to make
The result is inevitable
No one wins but a side must be taken
It's them or us, we don't want it this way
Whose children must die? Whose buildings must fall?
No one can see eye to eye, all we see is hate
Our freedom fighters are their terrorists
Their heroes are our nemesis
Peace, is, not
Peace is not an option!
Agnostic Front's song "Peace" deals with the difficult choices that people have to make during times of war. The lyrics are especially relevant to contemporary society, where conflict and division seem to be ever-present. The song acknowledges that in moments of crisis, people are forced to take sides, which inevitably results in tragic outcomes. As the lyrics state, "No one wins but a side must be taken." The message of the song is that peace is not something that can be achieved easily or without sacrifice.
The lyrics evoke a sense of frustration and despair towards the futility of war. The lines "Whose children must die? Whose buildings must fall?" highlight the senseless destruction that occurs during armed conflict. The song suggests that there is no simple solution to these problems. People are forced to choose between two bad options, and the result is an outcome that nobody wants.
The song also touches on the fact that both sides in a conflict see themselves as the righteous party. As the lyrics state, "Our freedom fighters are their terrorists / Their heroes are our nemesis." This demonstrates the reality of how war is often fought based on differing beliefs and worldviews.

A choice must be made!
In these times of war today, a choice must be made that no one wants to make. The result is inevitable, and no one wins, but a side must be taken.
It's them or us, we don't want it this way
Death is certain, and lives are at stake. Whose children must die? Whose buildings must fall? No one can see eye to eye, all we see is hate.
Our freedom fighters are their terrorists
What we perceive as freedom fighters, the other side may see as terrorists. Similarly, what they see as their heroes, we may view as our nemesis.
Peace, is, not
The current situation doesn't allow for peace to be an option.

I remember when Agnostic Front Came to my town on the Victim in Pain Remastered tour.
I yelled the words this song as loud as I could, That night is a Staple in my life. I have never felt a bigger sense of belonging in my life.
