Echoes, silence, peace and violence

Echoes, silence, peace and violence

All we need is peace, love and empathy.

All we have is war.

All we ever wanted was to be set free;

Still they keep us trapped inside these four walls.

Have a food fight with a butter knife;

The sound of bullet’s ricochet through streets with no name.

Life for today and sing with rage;

The super star is filled with hate.

Look at me up in the sky;

It’s so high up here now I have died.

Beautiful bullets in butterflies.

A soldier can never wear a peace symbol,

Because that would not be right?

Down in the dumps, I decided to give up;

All they told us was lies, so we had to confront.

Burst your bubble with a lighting strike above my head;

If I end up dead and my remains remain silent, then do not forget.

Echoes and silence,

Peace and violence.

All I hear you saying,

Reverberates around a room with no sound,

So we cannot remain silent.

Stop the war; what do we need it for?

Stop the violence; all you need is love.

Same old faces out on tour;

Coming back in caskets, without their guns.

Governments lie as soldiers die;

This is our time to change their minds.

Peacefully protest against their war;

Power to the people, we can’t take it anymore.
