A song that questions the actions of warmongering leaders and the cruelty inflicted upon the innocent in the pursuit of power.

Lyrics
Death and destruction whole families slain
We witness their peril and plight
And it has to be asked what on earth can be gained
In a world that seems hard wired to fight
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
Means we’d all end up toothless and blind
Once proud broken buildings that stood many years
Now a gaping black hole in the ground
How do they all sleep at night
How do they all sleep at night
When innocent folk get caught up in their fight
How do they all sleep at night
Battles achieve no goals, death and discord
You can’t bomb your passage to peace
Injustice on all sides, two wrongs don’t make right
Will the world ever feel sweet release
If nobody talks and if nobody listens
How will we all ever learn
To make compromises to give and to take
Or our whole world will just crash and burn
Do despots and warmongers ever feel joy
Feel the warmth on their backs from the sun
Find beauty in birdsong or snow covered hills
If they did would they do what they’ve done.
But the sun will still rise and the moon will still shine
Keep the faith that all can be saved
Let’s not be so foolish to want war more than peace
And fortune will favour the brave
The weak and the powerless, the mighty, the strong
Will end up the very same way
From dust we all came and to dust we’ll return
Mother Nature will have the last say
