We Say We Don\'t But We Love Wars

The bomb exploded 
Lit up the night sky
Man-made ball of thunder
The power of destruction 
It\'s the pinnacle of our civilized lives

 

Bodies burnt
Limbs severed, charred and silent
Testament to our creation for destruction
A gory macabre picture of our evolution
It\'s a victory we must celebrate

 

Glory to our civilization and righteous path
We go to battles, we fight the wars
With compassion in our hearts 

 

They were not humans
No mother would feel like being choked
They were not humans
No father would lose all hope
They were not humans
No lover\'s wail would haunt the dead in the night
They were not humans
No child missed the chance to say goodbye 

 

From the rubble,
Rising like the Phoenix 
A mother stands up with a child
Defiance burning in her eyes, voice unquivering
She holds up the child high
\"O\' Civilized come and kill us all
Show us all your might
Destroy our bodies again and again 
But our spirits will always be alive\"

 

Hey civilized see our plights
We killed the demons 
but they will again rise
Give us your money with holiness in your hearts
We will make more bombs and guns
And our battles will again be fought

 

The soldiers on both sides
In far-off lands
Look at the blood pouring out
From the dying Sun
Their lips quivered
In silent questions to whichever Gods they pray
\"What kind of puzzle is it O\' Lord
Why do we have to kill each other every day?\"

 

The answer blows in the wind
Day in and day out 
\"No war was ever fought for your Gods
You were pawns in the wars of your mortal lords
War was and always will be
Fought for power, dominance 
And MONEY above all\"
