Children play as a village yearns, young women await a hero’s return. An old woman screams…sons covered in blood, she sheds her tears for waited motherhood.
Thunder peals like distant bells, crossing scattered battlefields. Chaos reigns as bullets scream, young men find eternal dreams
The reaper comes he has no face, breeds hatred for another race. Glory flies its flag so high, battle fever in their eyes.
Wars, destruction, the way of the human race. Trilling to adrenaline, excitement in the chase.
We’ll fight side by side,. meet death together. Senseless weapons and senseless wars, Will change our world forever.
Trumpets blow the charge is made, bodies fly, what a bloody trade. Give your life for an inch of dirt, Morphine addiction given birth.
Wars, destruction, Ways of the human race. Trilling to adrenaline, excitement in the chase.
We’ll fight side by side And meet our death together. Senseless weapons and senseless wars will change our world forever.
No more children play as the village burns, no more young women waiting on a heroes return. The old woman now just a memory, joins her sons in eternity. Peace reigns from pole to pole, As all burns In a World without a soul.

excellent piece. your words hold much truth. it is always good when a writer can bring the ugliness of mankind out and into the open for all to see.
you have some really wicked lyrics, mike.. i look forward to reading more.

Thank you. That is the only way the Earth will find peace is after there is no life on it.
