A new age of terror
A fear the world has never faced before
Is this a sign of things to come? Is this a sign humanity is done
A world at war
When will we learn?
When will the killing cease?
When will the terror stop?
When will the fear pass?
When will it end?
When will the killing cease?
When will the terror stop?
When will the fear pass?
When will it end?
Impossible to forget, and so hard to forgive
Our candles lit as the world grieves
Our hearts go out to all those bereaved
Aaaaah
For the children of war
When will the killing cease?
When will the terror stop?
When will the fear pass?
When will it end?
When will the killing cease?
When will the terror stop?
When will the fear pass?
When will it end?
What is this hatred that murders our youth?
Their innocence betrayed by the honour of war
When will the killing cease?
When will the terror stop?
When will the fear pass?
When will it end?
When will the killing cease?
When will the terror stop?
When will the fear pass?
When will it end?
They fight for a cause
But what cause is worth more than life
They fight for religion,
But religion teaches love
They fight for power and might,
But true strength is shown in tenderness
They fight for revenge
Fight for those they've lost
And their pain and hatred bread more war
When will the killing cease?
When will the terror stop?
When will the fear pass?
When will it end?
When will the killing cease?
When will the terror stop?
When will the fear pass?
When will it end?
When will it end?
When will it end?
