Sound of War

This is the sound of war
What has it all been good for?
We hear the sounds of death
We witness the last breath
Of some stranger dying on a distant shore

This is the sound of war
Can anyone tell what we're headed for?
I'd like to fight, I’d like to fight for the cause of humanity
But what is human?
Seems different for you and for me
So I close myself off in my own little world
Uphold compassion around me
War must die within each one
A change of heart is the only way to start
Understanding we all should be free

I heard the sound of war today
Why don't you watch, why don’t you watch what you say?
Oh, this decaying attitude: fascist, racist, child abuse
What kind of world do you create?
And is it really your element to destroy and hate?
What kind of world do you create?
Stop the sound of war
Stop the sound of war
Please, stop the sound of war
