Bloody battle rages on
Man fights man through dusk and dawn.
Lifeless bodies strewn about
Awful noises- screams and shouts.
Who knows for which side they fight?
What is truly wrong or right?
So it starts, and so it ends
Only to begin again.

Black and blue speckles pale skin.
Drunken father strikes again
And now Mommy's gone away
She intends to make him pay.
Daughter's left to take the pain.
Endless tears fall down like rain.
So it starts, and so it ends
Only to begin again.

You live your life like before.
Then you pass an unmarked door,
A raspy voice calls to you
Asks for help, what do you do?
Move on! There's no time to waste
On a soul without a face.
So it starts and so it ends.
Will we let it start again?
