ntro: F#   D#   F#   B(2x)
F#All your glorious battles, what D#did they amount to, what F#did they prBove?
F#All for your pride of country,
D#All for your sacred democracy, rF#ival national myBths.
F#All for your rich ancestry of warD#mongers, you haF#iled as heBroes.
DF#on't believe in your jingoistic pride,
That fuD#els your imperialistic F#genociBde

Love is the force that drives me.
F#A better world will emerge out of the bD#lood and carnage F#of the pBast.
ConsF#idering tens of millions lost their lives in coD#nflict,
Surely it’s not F#too much to aBsk?
WF#ars of religion, nationalism,
made all D#the more devastating by advances in peF#rverted sciBence.
F#Led the innocent to early deaths, solD#diers to shallow graves.
HF#ow can you sleep Bat night?

Hatred will never overtake me.
