The sun shines, the fire glows Death rains arrows of fire in modern bows Missiles and rockets, bombs dropped from on high Another death reborn a condemned with no why Precision death or random destruction Nothing is safe from war’s instruction War, war, what is it good for Death and desolation around the globe tour The children's eyes, in sadness dies The world's power’s sharing their lies Peace, there is no release Will never the violence and corruption cease Life lost, young innocents and old How can the perpetrators be so cold Life becomes death in the world's hate Until all is done we pray and wait The great deceiver, the great father of lies Behind all great leaders see their filthy eyes Like old stories, the lord of the flies Death be not proud, but still he dies Only winter’s cold, only summer’s heat War never leaves, spring in the heart beat In fear I lay down, in anger I tremble War, war, what is it good for What can I do for this human sore Nothing is still worth more [ Lyrics by an unknown poet ]
