Voices of War

Upon the breeze are the voices of war
The dead have come to speak
Trailing behind are the shadows of pain
Against the sun the dark is weak
The choice to fight has lost its chance
The dance of pride has shed its song
The powers that be with blood filled pens
Share the distance with a lovers long
No longer will smiles be shared in peace
No more will a father stand tall
The blessing of time for their children gone
Dead are the soldiers we sent to fall
Fight no more for the future is bleak
Fight no longer for the end will near
Fighting shall halt against our own kind
Dead are the voices who lost their tears
The words gain strength as the winds blow
The vapors of death set into the night
Long lost songs and chants of freedom
Ring over the lands that once saw fight
Peace it shall be for the living ones left
Peace in the valleys and peace on the peaks
Peace across plains and oceans and dust
Peace is the savior for the breath that seeks
Silence blankets the earth at its span
Death has brought life to those who blink
The answer is peace to the questions of war
The blood filled pens need no longer think
