Two ways to view the world
So similar at times
Two ways to rule the world
To justify their crimes
By kings and queens
Young men are sent
To die in war
Their propaganda speaks
Those words been heard before
Two ways to view the world
Brought Europe down in flames
Two ways to rule
Has man gone insane?
A few will remain
Who'll find a way
To live one more day
Through decades of war
It spreads like disease
There's no sign of peace
Religion and greed
Cause millions to bleed
Three decades of war
From dawn to dawn
They're fighting,
Die where they stand
The fog of war lies thick
When armies scorch the land
When all of Europe is burning,
What can be done?
They've been to war a decade,
Two more to come
Long way from home
Dopas och do i strid
Lifetime at war
Has man gone insane?
A few will remain
Who'll find a way
To live one more day
Through decades of war
It spreads like disease
There's no sign of peace
Religion and greed
Cause millions to bleed
Three decades of war
When they face death
They're all alike
No right or wrong
Rich or poor
No matter who they served before
Good or bad
They're all the same
Rest side by side now
Has man gone insane?
A few will remain
Who'll find a way
To live one more day
Through decades of war
It spreads like disease
There's no sign of peace
Religion and greed
Cause millions to bleed
Three decades of war
Has man gone insane?
A few will remain
Who'll find a way
To live one more day
