You stand justified in this prolonged war
But are you winning the fight so far?
You have pledged the currency of lives untold
And bartered fiercely with the young and old
The human cost and towns destroyed
Become the testament of the senseless exploits
And throughout history the story of hate is retold
Despite the lineage and boundaries that
you both hold
So, when will the madness run its course
And the innocents find a new source
To heal the hunger,pain and loss they bear
In this film of tragedy that they have been forced to share ?
