Peace be with us!
We decidedly say
Peace be upon us
till the judgment day
It shall be on our side.
On yours, why shall it be?
‘No’ peace be with you!
Shame let it be!
With wolves and serpents
you seek an
alliance
You brazenly free
them
to rack our spirit of
defiance
Lying on your feather
bed or luxurious chair
You send infernal birds
to murder and scare In the heart of our
cities
they set wildfires
They burn our
souls
to calm your desires
When mortal words
speak
louder than dreamy actions
louder than dreamy actions
We gravely picture our
children’s options;
Waiting in their
miserable shed
to become
orphans or to be dead
Whatsoever you
say,
Whatsoever you do,
At the end of our day,
Peace be with us
‘Sorrow’ be
with you!
Your red hands will
shrivel
Your Monsters will hide
The dark will fade
We will live with pride
We will live with pride
We promise to rise
and break the chain
and break the chain
To expel the grief
and your bloody stain
and your bloody stain
Peace be upon us!
Shame on you again!
Shame on you again!
And again,
And again!
