The last war.
War don't come my way
I couldn't stand your stay
For you consume all joy
That God had sent to me.
War don't come my way
Don't follow me in the dark
And find me all alone
Without recognisable home
War don't come my way
I know you from within
Sence your inhospitable
And sly sly grin
War don't come my way
I know this is the end
Your poverty and harmfulness
Is bitter, let's not pretend.
War don't come my way
These hands were built too weak
This mouth no harsh words
To knock you off your peak
War don't come my way
The ignorance was bliss
What its come to now!
How has it come to this?
