Holy War
Echo of Stonehenge
Flags raised under the burning sky
Men marching in the name of faith
Prayers are lost in the sound of weapons
And love is silent in the face of power
Temples weep in deep silence
Mothers hug pictures on the floor
If God is life to the whole world
Why do they sow death in his name then?
No altar was made for hatred
No belief was born to hurt
Who uses faith as a sword and dominion?
He has forgotten the true meaning of existing
No war can be holy
This is a contradiction
If love is the greatest flag
There is no room for destruction
No war can be holy
This is a contradiction
Who says fight in the name of heaven
Bring hell into the heart
Sacred books speak of hope
Of compassion, forgiveness and redemption
But there are those who turn faith into revenge
Wearing fear as devotion
And while the leaders cry victory
Children seek shelter and bread
In the dust of the ruins lies the memory
Peace has always been the solution
No prayer calls for innocent blood
No prophet taught how to kill
The voice of the divine speaks to the conscience
Only those who love can succeed
No war can be holy
This is a contradiction
If love is the greatest flag
There is no room for destruction
No war can be holy
This is a contradiction
Who says fight in the name of heaven
Bring hell into the heart
When the smoke covers the truth
And faith is used to divide
Let humanity remain in its breasts
And the courage to rebuild
No war can be holy
This is a contradiction
The God who lives in all life
Do not bless destruction
No war can be holy
This is a contradiction
Peace is the only victory
That like the heart
