The War


Lay down your head and succumb to the silence It’s only hell in this asylum Hearing no whispers at night As if it is your burial site Lay down your head and stop those tears Ignore of the painful, heart wrenching fears There’s nothing left but light Just spread your wings and take flight Lay down that weapon If there is no objection Rise up above the war And stop to look at the gore Lift up all the bodies And lay them in a field of poppies Where they can lie peaceful And become equal We fight this war because of separation When we should fight for liberation For nothing else but our selves and our families Fight for something worth it I believe
