Lay down the guns
Before the earth,
Lay down the guns
Lower your glare,
Bury the blind hatred
And the prejudice!
At once the smoke
Be made kind and visible,
And those who are
Considered enemy,
Are our mirror beings!
Bow down before the
Dead resting peacefully,
And vow to live to be
Their voice, their way,
Shoo away blood spill thoughts.
