Song Of War

The time you won your town the fight

You fought like none had ever done

We chaired you through the market-place;

Man and boy stood cheering by,

And home we brought you shoulder high

Today the battle field all soldiers come,

You fought like non had ever done

Shoulder high we bring you home,

And set you down at your resting corner

From the battle field where glory does not stay

When we warn that fight cannot stand

To bring peace and unity we stand

No victor no vanguish

Anything that brings about war

That brings about killing you regret as a soldier

War is like venom that kills in an eye blink

Eyes the shady night has shut

Cannot see the record cut,

And silence sounds no worse than cheers

After earth has stopped the ears:

So set before its echoes fade,

That chaos in the battle field cannot withstand

To wear those heavy soldier boots, helmet

The bulletproof jacket and armour of war yet,

will flock to gaze the strengthless dead.

The still-defended challenge-cup,

War is not for children but freedom we must...
