When Brothers Raise Arms

The War Within

When Brothers Raise Arms

(Pro-War) Our freedom's banner must be unfurled!

(Anti-War) Brother, why deepen scars upon our world?

The tyrant denies our sacred rights, Sending our young to fierce internal fights, their sacrifices scar my soul this night.

---

Raise your weapon, aim true and stand tall! But blind retaliation darkens over us all.

---

We must shatter the shackles of subjugation! Yet each attack forfeits part of our nation.

---

Unsheathe your blade, let oppression flee!

---

I implore you let's find peace, the greater path it must surely be.

---

Their scourge lays waste to our sacred shores, Where loving homes are reduced to vengeful sores.

---

Think of our children's futures, is there no other way, but to meet steel with steel on this blighted day?

---

Let the cannon's thunder be liberation's voice! Pause, let wisdom speak over a vengeance's choice.

---

Our cause is righteous, it must be preserved! While widows and orphans stand to be reserved?

---

With freedom's sweet air will our new dawn breathe! But at the cost of bonds, our countrymen would seethe?

WE ALL NEED TO FIND PEACE NOT WAR
