No War

Let it be
Set on fire the life
It’s only a dream
All the desire we hide
To live in ever strife

Let it bleed
Let it die
Let it crawl
Let it beg
Let it fall

Lost, cold, lone
Fallen, drawn, forlorn
Away from their home

I see it burning
I see it falling
Far from heavenly calling

Set me free
Let me dream
The forests and meadows
The lakes and the streams

I want to see beauty of spring bloom
I want to dance in silver light of the moon
Life without bloodred sea tearing us apart
Bathing in starlight so pure
Drinking its reviving cure

No more tears and nightmares, no more
No more fears
Lashes of cold
No more life in darkness and pain, no more
No more war

No more blood
Tearing hearts apart
No more pain
No death in vain
Let it live
Within without agony
Let me feel
A dream or a memory
Let me believe
