lyrics

If only peace would come now
If only battle and war would stop
Sending the weapons and fanning the flames
Thousands are wounded or dead
Like flies they drop
No one ever gives up
They stay until the fight is won
With the wind in their noses they run
From the sound of a bomb or a cannon or a gun

They scream and they fall down to sacrifice
See how they weep and bleed and collapse and die
Still their mothers cry

If only peace would come now
If only battle and war would end
When rival nations of the world collide
Under fire in the balance
Their governments and countries they defend
In the warrior's code
There's no retreat or surrender
Their bodies and spirits say never
Passion and fortune and glory burn in their hearts like an ember

In a clash of wills or in the heat of attack
When anger or aggression pulls the trigger
You gotta watch your back
