War Is Over

I know you will not stop until you see us drop,
till you see us go up in flames like dying stars.
I know your only thought is how to win back what you lost,
cover eyes with frost and fill our brains with poison.
World war is over now.
Through smoke I see the solid ground.
All those who have ears to hear still feel alone and draw near
to warm breath and messages traced on cold mirrors.
Too late, the seed escaped from the rock, the bird, the hate.
And all things that truly start will someday finish.
World war is over now.
Through smoke I see the solid ground.
The time will come for silence to be found. The crippling walls, once mighty,
crumble down. The wonder of the world no longer drowned, blessing is the
mourning stranger’s crown.
World war is over now. Through smoke I see the solid ground.
