War Games
Morgan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Held up before my eyes.
The clouds of war were gathering
Across the shrouded skies.
The Barons and the Princes
And the Ace in armoured fist,
Hold up the crumbling prison
Of the Truth which they resist.
The willing flame of apathy
Is fanned in many homes;
The independent voices
Speak in harmonising tones.
When you can feed the fortunes
Of a man you've never seen,
The time has come to beat
Your ploughs into a War Machine.
Tonight We ride on Bethlehem,
To where our troubles began.
Two thousand years we'll blow away;
God send the prophet again.
Tonight We ride, on Bethlehem,
The only man who might have helped
Suffered, and we watched Him die.
I've noticed lately that the news
Is unbelievable.
The whole illusion they prepare
Is working rather well.
The people must be kept amused;
If they should ever rise
Our precious empire will
Dissolve before our very eyes.
Tonight We ride on Bethlehem,
To where our troubles began.
Two thousand years we'll blow away;
God send the prophet again
Tonight We ride, on Bethlehem,
To where We first turned aside
The only man who might have helped
Suffered, and we watched Him die.
God send the prophet again.
In Morgan's song War Games, the lyrics describe a world on the brink of war. The first stanza is a metaphor for the blindness of those in power who are unable to see past their own desires and agendas to the impending disaster ahead. The second stanza details the manipulation of the masses by those in power, using apathy and the illusion of choice to keep them in line. The chorus then takes a religious turn, referencing Bethlehem and the death of a man who may have been able to prevent the coming tragedy. The final line begs for divine intervention in order to prevent history from repeating itself.
The overarching message of the song seems to be one of warning about the dangers of unchecked power and the need for individuals to remain vigilant against those who would manipulate them. The reference to Bethlehem and the death of Jesus suggests that the consequences of such manipulation can be catastrophic, and that it is up to individuals to stand up for what is right in the face of overwhelming odds.
