• 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
