"i Am War, Here Me Roar
I am a war
I hold the friend and the enemy
The people who want to be there and the ones who do not
Yes these too are mine
I am war.
I keep the wounded, the dead, and the healthy
I am the letters from family wondering when loved ones will return
I control the souls as well,
I am war.
The bombs, missiles, and other weapons are released upon my command
I do not discriminate between the innocent and the guilty
I am war.
My only enemy is peace is unity
And that is what makes me war
I am compassionate and also callous
I am war.
I crave the beginning and pray it never ends
I am war.
I am ruthless and unforgiving
I am war.
