The Horrors of War

No one wants to cite the benefits of wars

O' the horrors of war!
Finally a nation free
To vote my leaders democratically

 

O' the horrors of war!
Rape, torture amidst this people nevermore
No fear of nocturnal knocks upon my door

 

O' the horrors of war!
The price to eat now seems all together cheap
And the more I earn the more I keep

 

O' the horrors of war!
Once again our children have become our own
This land that I reap now I shall sow

 

O' you say...
The horrors of war!
But, did you ever live...
In this place before?
