The drums of war, they pound the night Shadows fall where there was light A mother weeps, her child is gone The price of battles raging on No voice was asked, no choice was made The cost of peace too high to trade And all the hearts left torn apart War leaves no love, just broken hearts War is never good, no peace it brings Just suffering beneath its wings It steals the smiles, it steals the land Leaves only grief where dreams once stand The markets rise, the prices soar While soldiers march to distant shores But who decides, and who will pay For lives they gamble and throw away? The innocent bear scars so deep A heavy cost no soul should keep A flag may wave, a battle won But what remains when war is done? War is never good, no peace it brings Just suffering beneath its wings It steals the smiles, it steals the land Leaves only grief where dreams once stand Can't we see the damage done? A thousand cries drowned by a gun The power sought, the pain it makes The endless toll a heart can't take War is never good No peace it brings Just suffering beneath its wings It steals the smiles It steals the land Leaves only grief Where dreams once stand So lay down arms, and seek the day Where words, not wars, can find a way For every life deserves its worth Let's trade the blood for love and earth
