Bombs Bomb Away

Born to a world of sorrow and pain
Born to a time of so much disdain
For those who find joy in the eyes of a child
And beauty in light, and calmness of mind

So, bombs bomb away
And kill another man
No thought of the cost
Rebuilding the land

So, bombs bomb away
And kill some mother’s son
Make sure to send a note
Of how we had won

So, bombs bomb away
Bombs bomb away
Blow them to dust
Bombs bomb away
Why do you think you must?

Imagine a time of purity and peace
Of body and mind, of land and sea
But history has told of no such tale:
“The gods did war with the demons in the air”

So, bombs bomb away
And kill another man
No thought of the cost
Rebuilding the land

So, bombs bomb away
And kill some mother’s son
Make sure to send a note
Of how we had won

So, bombs bomb away
Bombs bomb away
Blow them to dust
Bombs bomb away
Why do you think you must?

A religion of man, if only we could see
A life of hope and eternity
No more war, no pain, no grief
Transcending this shell, ascending to peace

So, bombs bomb away
And kill another man
No thought of the cost
Rebuilding the land

So, bombs bomb away
And kill some mother’s son
Make sure to send a note
Of how we had won

So, bombs bomb away
Bombs bomb away
Blow them to dust
Bombs bomb away
Why do you think you must?
