Tears of War.

When battles are fought
and war is won
Who cares to think
How it begun?
When bravery is mistaken
And fear is met
And kings and queens
Pretend to revel in death

When does it strike?
The common sense -
Without love, we're lost
In bloody silence
We will never unite
And never be free
No matter our chants
To whatever deity.

So stands it still
In the world today
These queens and kings
Are not gone away
They're simply names
for those we know
Or how we feel
And how far we'll go
To destroy ourselves
Or hurt our loves
Over misunderstanding
And childish shoves

After all these years
And lessons still taught
You'd think we'd learn
From those who had fought,
You'd think we'd learn
About bonds and hearts
And how easy it is
A war to start

Such pain, such fear,
Ne'er seen I before
As this loss I feel daily
And will forever more.
Such pain, such fear,
Ne'er has gripped me before
As this loss has daily
And will forever more.
