Lay Down Your Arms


Lay down your arms you grieving hearts the war no longer thrives with passion but instead feeds on souls lost. Raise your hands you troubled spirits the dark will soon break its hold when the sun peers over the hill Weep for your brothers you who still stand their souls will be lifted up by your tears and their names will be remembered Dry your tears you grand survivors for you have the chance to change the world Teach others to lay down their arms For peace does not come with violence it comes with a break from the dark.
