War is not out there

War is not out there
But in our hearts
It’s the war between our conscience and us

War in not out there to show how strong we are
War is not out there to show our nuclear power

If war does have to exist
Let it be to conquer hearts
To fight for our rights
Let us use all our might

War is not out there
But in our hearts
Confronting the fear in our souls
Fighting to sustain our hopes
War is not out there
But in out hearts

History glorifies war
What kind of war?
That can wipe out mankind totally?
I think, war is between us
Humans and humanity

In this never ending war
It’s the mankind which suffered
War is not out there
But between
The dead and the living

The dead is Humanity
While living is the Man
