I know you will not stop until you see us drop
Till you see us go up in flames like dying stars
I know your only thought is how to win back what you lost
Cover eyes with frost and fill our brains with poison

World war is over now
Through smoke I see the solid ground

All those who have ears to hear still feel alone and draw near
To warm breath and messages traced on cold mirrors
Too late, the seed escaped from the rock, the bird, the hate
And all things that truly start will someday finish

World war is over now
Through smoke I see the solid ground

The time will come for silence to be found
The crippling walls, once mighty, crumble down
The wonder of the world no longer drowned
Blessing is the mourning stranger's crown

World war is over now
Through smoke I see the solid ground
