Darkness Descends

So quick to kill so many
So quick to repeat the horrors of war
So quick to raise a flag as a reason
To do unto others
What to you was done before
History unheeded cannot teach
Rewalking paths we promised not to tread
Dehumanizing the living
We become the walking dead
Once the world is blind
We will wonder how
We lost the gift of sight
Forgetting the lessons
Of ancient times
Might is not often right
And so we show our children
Kill those who cause who pain
And yet another generation
Lives and dies in vain
So quick to repeat the horrors of war
So quick to raise a flag as a reason
To do unto others
What to you was done before
History unheeded cannot teach
Rewalking paths we promised not to tread
Dehumanizing the living
We become the walking dead
Once the world is blind
We will wonder how
We lost the gift of sight
Forgetting the lessons
Of ancient times
Might is not often right
And so we show our children
Kill those who cause who pain
And yet another generation
Lives and dies in vain
