Lyrics

When the earth turns dark from the war inside
The elite can hide in their special place
But we the people who will pay the price
Have nowhere to go when the bombs erase

The halls of power they plot and scheme
Feeding the flames of hatred and greed
While we stand powerless our future unseen
Praying for peace as the world starts to bleed

The skies grow dim, the air grows thick
As missiles fly and cities fall
The cries of the innocent, they pierce our hearts so quick
As we huddle in fear waiting for the final call

So let us pray for peace on earth
That we may live without this dread
For if we fail what will our lives be worth
When the smoke has cleared and the last shot has been fired

The bunkers deep they hide from the light
Secure in their wealth immune to our plight
But we the common folk must face this fight
With only our faith to guide us through the night

The bombs may fall the sirens may wail
But still we cling to hope within
For if we stand united we cannot fail
And peace on earth once more we'll win

So let us pray for peace on earth
That we may live without this dread
For if we fail what will our lives be worth
When the smoke has cleared and the last shot has been fired

The path is dark the future unclear
But we must not lose heart nor shed a tear
For in the face of adversity our spirit grows strong
And together we'll sing freedom's song

So let us pray for peace on earth
That we may live without this dread
For if we fail what will our lives be worth
When the smoke has cleared and the last shot has been fired

Let peace prevail let love shine through
And may our children's children never know
The horrors of war the pain we've been through
Let this be the dawn of a world anew
