Intro

East and West cannot agree so the

generals gave call "gather troops at the border"

With guns at ready drawn and aimed

and soldiers praying to a god to bless them with strength and courage

And it was in his name that artillery lit the sky on fire

The people sing protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun

Protest songs in response to military aggression

Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun

The battle Raged On...

Sirens filled the air and the ground shook with war

civilian casualties had been a cost that was predetermined

When interviewed for report victims plead in frustration

their claim that this was a war without a reason

And bureaucrats engaged in debate to try to reach a resolution

The people sing protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun

Protest songs in response to military aggression

Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun

The battle Raged On...

Protest songs in response to military aggression

Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun

The battle Raged On...

While the broadcast like their prayers went unanswered and ignored

God like the rest of the world just watched in silence

There was purpose to be served there were fortunes to be earned

before a peace could be called to stop the fighting

Protest songs in response to military aggression

Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun

Protest songs in response to military aggression

Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun.

Protest songs in response to military aggression

Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun

Protest songs in response to military aggression

Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun

The battle Raged On...
