"I wanted to write a tune with anti-War message.. But not for a specific War".
Who will be last to fall?
Does it really mater at all?
And who will remember their name…
Brave to answer the call
Name engraved in on a wall
Wars is always in vain.

Will we ever learn?
Before the bodies burn
And another young soul moves on...
We fight for freedom and fight for God
Stand alone or with our squads
And some never make it back home.

Then history will repeat its self
As we forget those who feel
It ends then starts again
Why must some insist?
To resolve problems with sword and fist
A Man of Peace could never comprehend?

Why it does always seems
Those who call for war, they never lead
And the battle left for our young and poor..

So say we fight for freedom and fight for God
As they feed us lie with winks and nods
But still we charge on..

In battle the brave still fall
With there backs against the wall
Our leaders tell us were at war..

We gather troops arm bombs
Convinced that there God is wrong
As the blood of innocence still pours

Once again those who decide
Will never hear the battle cry
So who's to say?
Which God is right or wrong?

Why is it that those who preach?
Believe that war's a way to peace
Don't they ever listen to their own songs?

We got to battle as we fight between Gods
But don't ask why
Every warrior is told that “God's on their side”
How can they lie?..

{Lead}

After we lose count of the dead an enemy will raise its head
And the battle flag will fly once again..
Then those who choose the war
Will send out young and poor
As the blood flows – Will never end

Until we realize THE WAY TO PEACE
Is not losing lives
To ideas of weapons and swords

When will we ever turn?
Before the bodies start burn
And whose God will be last to fall?

When will we ever turn?
Before the bodies start burn
And whose God will be last to fall…




PEACE NOW!
