War is a song
That should never be sung
War is a bell
That should never be rung

War is a soldier
Dying in the street
War is the humiliation
Of defeat

War is black and red and grey
War is night
And never day

War is anger
War is fears
War is bloodshed, loss and tears

War is wicked
War is a seed
War teaches lessons
That we never heed

War is darkness
War has no escape
War is murder, blood and rape

War is grim
War is bleak
War is suffering
We must not seek
