FALLEN BROTHERS
For our fallen brothers
In the fallen war zones
Who lay,
Waiting for judgement day.
They left for the war
That was only meant to last
Till Christmas.
They kissed their mothers
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Did they know
It would be their last?
The last time they saw their
mothers,
Or their wives,
Or the faithful dog
Waiting on the door step.
This was the war
To end all wars
That was only meant to last
Till Christmas.
R.I.P our fallen brothers.

LOVE NOT WAR
Lower your arms
Stop the tanks
Why are we fighting?
When we are all human
Why don’t we love?
We were born with love and forgiveness
Where has it gone?
Buried with Adam or maybe eve
Either way its no longer here
But don’t give up
Please don’t stop
Carry on trying
Until you can’t try no more
