Bombs Bomb Away - Elephant Stone

Born to a world of sorrow and pain

Born to a time of so much disdain

For those who find joy in the eyes of a child

And beauty in light, and calmness of mind

So, bombs bomb away

And kill another man

No thought of the cost

Rebuilding the land

So, bombs bomb away

And kill some mother’s son

Make sure to send a note

Of how we had won

So, bombs bomb away

Bombs bomb away

Blow them to dust

Bombs bomb away

Why do you think you must?

Imagine a time of purity and peace

Of body and mind, of land and sea

But history has told of no such tale:

«The gods did war with the demons in the air»

So, bombs bomb away

And kill another man

No thought of the cost

Rebuilding the land

So, bombs bomb away

And kill some mother’s son

Make sure to send a note

Of how we had won

So, bombs bomb away

Bombs bomb away

Blow them to dust

Bombs bomb away

Why do you think you must?

A religion of man, if only we could see

A life of hope and eternity

No more war, no pain, no grief

Transcending this shell, ascending to peace

So, bombs bomb away

And kill another man

No thought of the cost

Rebuilding the land

So, bombs bomb away

And kill some mother’s son

Make sure to send a note

Of how we had won

So, bombs bomb away

Bombs bomb away

Blow them to dust

Bombs bomb away

Why do you think you must?
