Where there is war,

There can be no peace;

No matter who or where you are,

We must, as one, tame this vicious beast:-

 

Where there is war,

There can be no peace;

No matter who or where you are,

Chanting "War For Peace", must cease:-

 

It's like a shark with an octopus' head in its jaw,

Chanting to its prey, "Thanks for this killing tasty piece

And thanks to the gods of water, for this blood of ocean war":-

Oh, let the rumors of war be tabooed and forbidden;

Let peace on Earth and goodwill to all, be as has been written:-

 

May the thunder of hope, and the enlightened spirit, sky our ways

And may God's precious clouds of joy blacken with coveted love;

So that in the remaining time in our lives in the coming days,

Our blessed Earth will be flooded with raining peace from above;

And may that oxymoronic warring chant, be forever deeply shoved:-

Where there is war, There can be no peace; No matter who or where you are, We must, as one, tame this vicious beast:- Where there is war, There can be no peace; No matter who are where you are Chanting "War For Peace", must cease:- It's like a shark with an octopus' head in its jaw, Changing to t it prey, "Thanks for this killing tasty piece; And thanks to the gods of water, be floodedor this blood of ocean war":- Oh, let the rumors of war be tabooed and forbidden: Let peace on Earth and good will to all be as has been written:- May the thunder of hope and elighten spirit sky our ways, And may God's precious clouds of joy blacken with coveted love; That in the coming remaining time in our lives' coming days, Our blessed Earth will be flooded with raining peace from above; And may that oxymonic warring chant be forever shoved:-
