Peace and war, death and life
Images, visions, endless strife
It's a hopeless cause, but we've got to try
I've left my life; I've said goodbye

Across the wasted, burning land
Remnants here will make a stand
Blood will spill, they all will die
I lift my head up towards the sky
They all say there is no hope
Take my guns and pass the rope
I have decided; I've made a pact
I'll end the war with this one act

Peace and war, death and life
Images, visions, endless strife
It's a hopeless cause, but we've got to try
I've left my life; I've said goodbye

Across the wasted, burning ground
We make our way without a sound
We're almost there, I see our goal
But they will leave to save their soul
I'm all alone, I'm on my way
I've got to try, whate'er they say
They make their stand, they pound the drum
Call my name, and I will come

Peace and war, death and life
Images, visions, endless strife
It's a hopeless cause, but we've got to try
I've left my life; I've said goodbye

You see my eyes, you feel my fear
I fall to the ground without a tear
You know my heart, you know my mind
You know I've left my life behind
Together we can end this war
My fear now shakes me to the core
Do you understand, I cannot tell
I say my prayers, I say farewell

Peace and war, death and life
Images, visions, endless strife
It's a hopeless cause, but we've got to try
I've left my life; I've said goodbye

I feel the touch, the cool embrace
A grimace of pain contorts my face
The pain drives deep, it knocks me out
I cannot scream, I cannot shout
The world blurs, my flesh on fire
I know I'll never feel much higher
I cannot tell if I've won or lost
But inner peace is worth the cost
I was true to myself, I came to try
Now I have triumphed even if I die!

Peace and war, death and life
Images, visions, endless strife
It's a hopeless cause, but we've got to try
I've left my life; I've said goodbye

Peace and war, death and life
Images, visions, endless strife
It's a hopeless cause, but we've got to try
I've left my life; I've said goodbye

(Peace and war, death and life)
I made a pact; I've been true to my mind
(Images, visions, endless strife)
See in my thoughts the promise you'll find
(It's a hopeless cause, but we've got to try)
You and I can save the day
(I've left my life; I've said goodbye)
I open my eyes; you've seen my way

United in cause, we now arise
I lift my head up towards the skies
The world remains, though I have changed
Freedoms and liberties exchanged
Peace and life will reign supreme
No more will strife destroy the dream
We walk together, on and on
Night has ended, day will dawn
