It's a tragedy - that's coming near Hatred chains our thoughts - born in fear Makes our children be martyrs of vanity Sacrifice in another gods name We speak of love and mercy While only bullets answering every thrown stone We praise our lord in heaven But all our deeds are by blood and pain Let's lay down our swords now And let the blood dry now It's not our destiny to be enemies There can be a tomorrow So let the blood dry now No war can last forever Time of killing lasts for so many years Life lights burn so fast - all that's left are tears Do you really believe our gods want us to kill? Not one word of our belief tells this is out lords will Time runs fast for you and me But still our souls can be saved by the glory of love Take the hand that reaches out for you Let's end the madness before it's too late - too late [repeat chorus] [repeat bridge two] [repeat chorus]
