an accord of peace shall never be found
while ever the weapons of war resound
man has not heeded lessons from the past
over centuries countless souls killed
endless rivers of blood hath been spilled
an olive branch ushers in tranquility
too many souls lost through inane hostility
the world sees conflict and is most aghast
put down the rifle let it's powder rest
leaders must hear this imploring request
the dove of peace the symbol of brotherhood
may it fly over our orb in quietness
armaments bring vast amounts of sadness
may we have hush in every neighborhood

an accord of peace shall never be found
while ever the weapons of war resound
man has not heeded lessons from the past
over centuries countless souls killed
endless rivers of blood hath been spilled
an olive branch ushers in tranquility
too many souls lost through inane hostility
the world sees conflict and is most aghast
put down the rifle let it's powder rest
leaders must hear this imploring request
the dove of peace the symbol of brotherhood
may it fly over our orb in quietness
armaments bring vast amounts of sadness
may we have hush in every neighborhood
