Giving Peace a Chance

Rise of a sorrowful song
Swords clash and strike
The feud has been long
The hails and wails of bloodshed 
Clubs, gunpowder, blood and fire
Head, body, arms separate by fury
The gloomy splash at the sun rays
Cries, lamentation, separation spring

Then Silence...

Shadows of death
Valley of dead bodies
VULTURES
Offensive stench defiles the pure air
Mix with sand dust and blood.

The women are pregnant again
Deliverance... Baby Boys
Growing, growing with fury
Burning, burning with vengeance 
Tasting blood and fights 
Their heart poisoned with the feud
Their eyes red and fueled with venom
Without emotions
Killing without mercy
Getting ready...

Today is the war
Armed to the core...

A change came today
The rain, a shower of love
A voice of peace
Proclaiming a truce
Giving peace a chance...
Brothers rend the air
White doves...
PEACE
Happy mothers and celebrations.

Happy ever after...
