Smoke, it rises to the skies
Fire bright in fearful eyes
Madmen rage all through the streets
And march to simple savage beats
Buildings one that stood so tall
Now proceed to burn and fall
The ancient and most sacred tombs
Feel the shudder of explosive booms
Children cry and fathers die
Mothers and their daughters lie
Broken at the feet of men
Who will live to kill again
Peace has fallen, shattered now
Those of us will ask how
The governments could not foresee
That peace was to be a broken dream
Petty warlords fight and shout
And get their guns and weapons out
Their followers are but sheep to them
And these weak men they shall condemn
Only the strong will live for long
Gather together ad sing their songs
Of times before everlasting war
Whilst they sail for a life offshore
