[Verse 1]
This war's a motherfucker
How many sons will we kill today
On fours little brother
Tell me what the view's like from the ground
[Verse 2]
Your love is a killer
Killing all this love in me
We are so full of terror
Vicious kiss your love is longing dee
[Refrain]
Love, love, love will strike you down
Love, love
[Chorus]
Where the anger is hot
Where opinion is deep
Understanding is shot is dead is dead is dead
Where the linen is cheap
Where the weapons are not
All the mothers will weep is dead is dead is dead
[Refrain]
Will strike you down
Love, love, love will strike you down
[Verse 3]
We're drawn to a torture
I can't take it anymore
On fours little mother
Tell me what the view's like from the ground
[Refrain]
Love, love, love will strike you down
Love, love, love will strike us down
