Blood Red
hatred burns within us all
some will rise to answer it’s call
we fight for a useless cause
even against physics’ laws
we hate one another
some even our own brother
in a country that’s at war
point by point we tally the score
but if both sides lose men
are we really better than them?
streets run red with blood
almost drowned by the flood
we can stop the madness
no more sadness
love each other
sister, brother
come together
stay forever
