PUTTING OUT THE FLAMES

Before a few months ago
I had never heard anyone greet me by saying peace
But now when I think of it...
It's actually very much needed
Say peace how much ever you want
At the start of a conversation
At the end of one too
Between anything you may do
Because all those behind heavens gate
Can see the world burning in the flames of hate
What joy is found in taking ones life?
Is it pleasure or guilt?
To destroy all the homes built
To create among people a sense of fear
To make them feel loss, cry painful tears
To say it all in the name of God
And call everyone else a fraud
Who are you to take all the shots
On what's right and what's wrong
Who are you to declare war
On a place that just found peace
Who are you to take millions of lives
And claim it as a sacrifice
Who are you...
Just who are you
Hiding behind that damn mask
So not one knows your identity
Covering your face
Because you know you're a disgrace
Well I'll tell you this now, Walk away
For there will come a day
When peace finally wins
And when that day comes
All those who tread upon this land
Will walk together hand in hand
