We made a call for peace today
and this is how it goes

oh God, save the Earth
from where the water flows
Astonishing how hate sprouts
So easily, pushing peace out
Gunpowder tightens the air
Please, they say, war is but a political affair

From land to land
red rain showers over the sea
sleeping beneath the purple sky
mother Earth weeps to be free

And yet you still pick up your sword
to hack away
at those, to whom you used to say "Good Day"

Scorched into memory
Remnants of children
sinking into the ground
vultures hovering over their missing limbs

I close my eyes over paper and pen
wondering about this slaughter of men
Ink is like bullets, and stains like blood
hatred fills us like an undying flood
The Earth thunders as war is begun anew
In the purple haze of the morning hue

Oh God save the Earth
From where the waters grieve
We made a call for peace today
Please, tell your soldiers to leave
