Cutting through, the impossible lies
The docile masses, sit mesmerized
Driven by greed, the machine will march
Depraved endeavor, pitiless take charge

There's no decorum in blood
Spilled for the hunger unjust
All life has value unharmed

Lay down your arms
Lay down your arms
Lay down your arms
Lay down your arms

Breaking down, this perpetual grind
The source of misery, imprison the blind
Create an evil, the people comply
Enslaved forever, merciless outcry

Designed only to do harm
Displace inncocent alarm
The vultures gather and swarm

Lay down your arms
Lay down your arms
Lay down your arms
Lay down your arms

Enrich the merchants of death
Another widow bereft
There can be only regret

Lay down your arms
Lay down your arms
Lay down your arms
Lay down your arms
