Why wars are fought
Some wars are fought for wealth and some are fought for greed, in both cases the innocent shall bleed
Some wars are fought out of hatred, others for revenge, whichever the motive, it brings satisfaction in the end
Some wars are fought for hope and some are fought for freedom, for which life is not a high price to pay
Some wars are fought in defence and some are fought for honour, that’s as noble as war can be
In every battle, the enemy guns will rattle, and onto the battlefield the brave ones shall march
War only brings homelessness and destruction, people’s lives are lost in vain
In blood the price of war is paid, only the righteous prevail
It is no secret that all men are mortal, if not for honour, to death I shall not submit.
I shall to my death surrender, only when my time is due
