War

And he is standing there
rifle in hand
devastation everywhere

Was he a hero
or is he a villian

Across strewn everywhere
bodies from women, old and young

Some are children
so young
too young to hold a rifle
too small to place a bomb

Oh, he is in rage
in pain
fearing not to see home

Mother, father, wife and small son!
the pain is unbearable
the yearning for home

This bloody, senseless war
will he make it home

Longing, longing
peace
he wants to be home

Bang, bang a shot rings out

No, he knows he will not make it home
dying he lays
and whispers, bloody war
we needed to stay at home

Oh soul, you gentle soul
when born knew not of war

The men, the killers

The men of greed
have need to make war

Call on all angel soldiers
and stop all wars

Spare the children
and spirits
