Men are away for war,
They have gone so far,
Roads are now blown up tar!
Comes back in coffins,
Wreckage and destroyed inns,
The blood of people can't be rinsed!
The field of death,
People have lost their breath,
Coffins are covered with wreaths!
Lost our lives and homes,
Children and widows now roam,
Crumbling churches and domes!
Eyes filled with tears,
Men with ash and blood smears,
No more joy so sheer!
Grey sky with raining bombs,
Death comes with fine-tooth combs,
Now all are buried in graveyard tombs!
Oh, the fight for peace,
Time is now filled with crease,
Remember you can't take a life for lease!
Oh holy light, I bid farewell,
Oh black darkness, I welcome hell,
Oh Lord show mercy,
Like animals now we dwell!
