War no more
People gathering in the street
Heading for their own defeat
Fist raised high in the air
Screaming of a life so unfair
I don't care
Join us or die
Their war cry
Covered faces
Screaming hate against races
Hating themselves first
For blood they thirst
Screaming in the night
Looking to fight
Wipe out this race
Leave not a trace
Of woman nor child
Hate runs wild
So much hate
Much too late
To change that fate
Kill them all
Watch God fall
No mercy in the heart
As the doward spiral does start
Oh the news
Gives me the blues
The depth mankind goes
Ratings on some news shows
The hate grows
For their own beliefs they slay
The hate grows each day
People fear
That the end draws near
Nobody seems to know
How far the other is willing to go
To put on the final show
Days go by
The world continues to cry
The human race.
Bows out in disgrace
Hiding their face
War
Then some more
Last one standing
Does the branding
Everyone is right
Why fight
We are losing the light
War
No more
