Just Another War

Sleep, sleep, my little sparrow
Dream your wings can lift you high
Sleep, sleep - maybe tomorrow
We will have a warm, safe place to lie
But...

Don't say that it's for freedom
Don't claim honor where there is none
The trap's been laid, the soldiers paid, the guns are fully loaded
Another war has begun

Hush, hush, my sweet daughter
Be quiet as a mouse, we must hide
Hush, hush now, come into my arms
We'll hold each other til the raging storm is by
And...

Tell me, when did we start these fires
What fuel did we throw on to these flames
How did we come to fear each other
To forget each other's holy, sacred names

Don't say that it's for freedom
Don't claim honor where there is none
The trap's been laid, the soldiers paid, the guns are fully loaded
Another war has begun

Men build the tools of terror
Spend their genius and our fortunes on their wars
No peace is made, no soul is saved, no hearts and minds are won
Just another war's begun
Just another war
