A song I wish I didn't have to write.

LYRICS
Streets stained with blood and dead dear ones 
Songs of war played by guns and bombs 
A parents weep, a child's scream 
Breaths shut for good with broken dreams 

Shattered temples and destroyed schools 
Songs of war making lives mere tools 
Nursing wards blown to ash and dust 
Marvel of living becomes cursed 

Puppet, pawns pushed to their kin slay
Play songs of war for a kings game 
For glory, power, wealth, gods, land
To make empires great again 

Homes crumbled and nowhere to go 
Songs of war annihilate roads
 Dissonant choirs of rage
Lento moans of dreadful pain 

Spoils of raids take more than nations
Songs of war screech violation
Their own bodies were invaded 
Sold, subdued, and mutilated 

Apocalypse with no world's end 
Songs of war hush songs of innocence 
Families, loves, friendships torn 
Even if scars fade, eternal mourn 

Even for the killers, shell shock 
Songs of war their honour mock 
Night terrors of mates fallen to bleed 
As the monstermakers in feather beds sleep 

A ruler composes slaughters of a whim 
The fool, though, he is, for no one can win 
But Death, ever the true maestro in charge 
Songs of war make but a funeral march
