East  and  west  could  not  agree  

So  their  generals  gave  a  call  and  gathered  troops  at  the  border  

With  guns  ready,  drawn  and  aimed  

each  side  was  praying  to  a  god    

to  bless  them  with  strength  and  courage  

it  was  in  his  name  that  artillery  lit  the  sky  on  fire  

the  people  sang  protest  songs  to  try  and  stop  the  soldier's  gun  

  

Protest  Songs  in  a  response  to  Military  Aggression  

Protest  songs  to  try  and  stop  the  soldier's  gun  

But  the  battle  raged  on......  

  

Sirens  filled  the  air  and  the  ground  shook  with  war  

Civilian  casualties  has  been  a  cost  that  was  predetermined  

when  interviewed  for  report  victims  pleaded  in  frustration  

Their  claim:  That  this  was  a  war  without  reason  

Bureacrats  engaged  in  debate  to  try  and  reach  a  resolution  

the  people  sang  protest  songs  to  try  and  stop  the  soldier's  gun

The  Broadcast  like  their  prayers  went  unanswered  and  ignored  

god,  like  the  rest  of  the  world,  just  watched  in  silence  

There  was  purpose  to  be  served,  there  were  fortunes  to  be  earned  

before  a  peace  could  be  called  to  stop  the  fighting
