After reading Ed's Post (War & Peace) it really hit me..I wnated to Re-post some Lryics to a song I had written a while back..I hope you don't mind.
The ashes of the soldiers are scattered in the wind They kiss the sky and wave goodbye to a war they’d never win And mother Teresa’s flying on wings of gilded gold Her tears fall from the clouds above crashing to the ground below
The same sad song keeps playing The story never ends Where hearts and minds and human lives Are lost to greed and evil men
Bodies of the children lie rotting in the sun Their disease paid for the feast of all you lucky ones While safe inside your houses sheltered from the storm The deepest thought is what you’ve got and when to buy some more
When the song finally stops playing And silence fills the air You’ll be lost without a voice to tell you what to think what to drive how to look what to wear
And the Angels are all dying their tattered wings too old To carry so much burden and fill such empty souls
In the coldest darkest hour you'll curse the stars above Through hate and fear you'll never hear the last Angel's song of love
