A Time of War and a Time of Peace Lyrics

When you wake up in the morning hush

Put on the armor then you load a gun

Is it a time to fight?

Or is it a time to love?

Does your heart shatter every time

You pull a trigger and take someone's life?

Pray, soldier, pray!

You will be saved

Can you sleep at night and hear no cries of the dead?

Will you continue after all the blood we've shed?

Is it a time to live?

Or is it a time to die?

We've torn countries apart

With every shot and blow

Never asking ourselves what for

Is it a time to kill?

Or a time to heal?

We've destroyed countless lives

We were mute, deaf and blind

And we chose a fight over a bond

Is it a time of war?

Or a time of peace?

Look and see how far we've come by now

All the nations we've burned to the ground

Haven't we done enough?

Is it a time to stop?

Sins we commit while the world's looking away

Who do you blame that we were led astray?

Is it a time to lose?

Or is it a time to gain?

The world is burning to the ground

Open your eyes and look around

Can't you see the writing on the wall?

We need to put an end to war

We're driven by a fear

We neither see nor hear

The pain is all around

What's lost can not be found

If we could all agree

To lose our pride and see

The world for what it is

We've torn countries apart

With every shot and blow

Never asking ourselves what for

Is it a time to kill?

Or a time to heal?

We've destroyed countless lives

We were mute, deaf and blind

And we chose a fight over a bond

Is it a time of war?

Or a time of peace?
