Byline: PETER ROBBINS NO matter who succeeds in war The victor still can't win Each war a pyrrhic victory Each death is still a sin Each child will lose a parent And each parent lose a son Each country will still bear the scars Of battles never won It seems that man can't live with man That hate must reign supreme Each feels that he can not be wrong A nightmare from a dream Brave men defend what we believe But are we sure we're right? |
