Ode to ye, oh wagers of wars
Lakes of blood and ponds of tears
Cries come thundering to your ears
Yet ye wish to start more wars
What is the logic behind your heart?
Bring forth the requiem for the dead
The innocent, the people all full of dread
They shout their fears yet ye dost not hear
Their voices quiver to your hushing words
Oft not reaping desirable results
Oh pray, oh wagers of battles for long
What about the graves piling day by day
Of the men and women and children long gone
What of those who still survive seeing today
Souls now shaken and hearts left fully astray
Seeing with eyes and hearts all open
Pain; our price to see it end
Oh wagers of conflicts, see the strife
And please doth lead us to hope and peace
Oh pray you dost lead us to a better life…
