The waterfall of war
is easy to fall down
When we feel a rush
of blood to our heads

But all that precious blood
Does no good when you're dead
And lying in the depths

Don't paddle to the edge
as fast as you can
The waterfall of war
makes a devil of Man

If you want to stay good
And keep your respect
Keep hold of reason
Don't ever neglect

Your urge to have peace
And give of yourself
To hate will consume
Your every breath

When we talk just of evil
That's all we will hear
Choose the hard road to peace
Not war and blind fear
