Lyrics

War No More - words and music by David Philip Ireland

I sifted through the crucified,
Laid out before the judging eyes,
Imagining a monochrome,
Where crimson reads as black.

I ran my hands through flakes of grey,
The ashes of my yay, or nay,
Those yellow stars and tattooed numbers,
They never fade away.

We’ll stand apart, we’ll rise above,
Together in a world of love,
Peace will be our guiding star,
And we will go to war no more.
We will go to war no more.

We chose to stand, we chose to fight,
For the truth in darkest night,
History's whispers all around,
Our voices lift, we won't back down.

This vein of peace runs right through me,
There before my soul was born,
DNA has brought this to me,
And I will go to war no more.

We’ll stand apart, we’ll rise above,
Together in a world of love,
Peace will be our guiding star,
And we will go to war no more.
We will go to war no more.

I will wear the proud white poppy,
Singing loud of peace and love,
My fingers clutch a single feather,
From the breast of a snow-white dove.

We’ll stand apart, we’ll rise above,
Together in a world of love,
Peace will be our guiding star,
And we will go to war no more.
We will go to war no more.

We’ll stand apart, we’ll rise above,
Together in a world of love,
Peace will be our guiding star,
And we will go to war no more.
We will go to war no more.
No more...
No more...
No more...
