Inventions

Weapons of war, cities and states
Feeding the Renaissance a deadly fate
Where is the man, kings and lords are cobs
He makes inventions, he makes them all
Weapons of war, they just waste our time
They give us jobs and they kill us fine
Don't get me wrong, Da Vinci hates the war
His innovations could bring us so much more

My Leonardo, I've heard that we disagree, this angers me
Have you forgotten who I really am?

Why, you know, Medici

Let me make something perfectly clear, Il Divino
If you valued your life, you might want to hear what I'm saying
I'm not playing games here, Leonardo
This may be your best chance, this may be your only one

What can I say? I'll do it this time
I'll do what you want, one more time
Hear what I say, this is the last time
Inventions of war will be mine
What can I say? I'll do it this time
I'll do it for you, one more time
One more time

Weapons of war in the future I see
Will kill us all with humanity
Power or peace, the fight never ends
Making mistakes and making amends

Weapons of war, wasting our time
They make us money and they kill us fine
But tell me what score will be settled then
'Cause when you're dead, no one cares if you win
Do you hear me? Well, do you, Leonardo?

Don't preach to me, I've heard all this talk before
Just between the two of us, you may be right
Now there's nothing I can do here to help him out
He must stand alone, my absolute might

What can I say? I'll do it this time
I'll do what you want, one more time
Hear what I say, this is the last time
I'll do it for you, one more time
One more time
What can I say? I'll do it this time
I'll do what you want, one more time
Hear what I say, this is the last time
Inventions of war will be mine
One last time
