Put down your guns they serve only to fear
The kill and maim comes from the shadows of clouds
Where innocent falls the wife with tear
And the murderers ear hears only engine aloud

You soldier walk under arches and behind rubble
In the streets of empty markets and shop
Get to the target on the double
There must come a time for the killing to stop

You will not see nor hear of the mark
He walks silently and is armed with mind
Amongst civilians he will lark
With intentions of hurt that are most unkind

Fight him with your jets and your tanks
And your rifle cocked and the trigger prime
Fan out and secure the flanks
But you fight as if from another time

Put down your guns they serve only to fear
The enemy is not engaged in war
Guns and bullets we will not hear
Less the count of innocents increases a score
