Lyrics

[Music by p. wagner, s. efthimiadis / lyrics by p. wagner]

When the world's gone mad compassion dies

Soldiers killing for their thrills
Making war just for the sake of war
There's no future left than death

Leave me be - misery!

Weep with the children and stave with the prisoners
Before you scream for revenge

Sorrowful women with tears in their hollow eyes -
This is no justice, this is the price of war
The price of war

Some came running to the military
Misled by a false ideal
Believing guns could solve a problem, still
Blind to see they only kill

Ripped off from the middle
Ripped off from head to toes
Ripped off - multikilling
Ripped off - guts and bones

Weep with the children and starve with the prisoners
Before you scream for revenge
Sorrowful women with tears in their hollow eyes -
This is no justice, this is no justice
You'd watch the dying, lay hands on their bleeding wounds
Before you scream for war, don't you scream for
This is no justice, this is the price of war
