They stood together back in '86 Two old soldiers came in search of peace They shared a vodka with their memories Held hands and cried on Armistice They were friend at last It had taken seventy years There was no more hate Only hope behind their fears
Here we are living in the shadow Guns can kill just like bows and arrows If all the world laid down their arms tomorrow Would there be peace? No living in the shadow?
We can travel round the universe But we can't live together side by side Did we ever learn the lessons we were taught? Still on bloodstained roads, we hear the thunder roar
Here we are living in the shadow Guns can kill just like bows and arrows If all the world laid down their arms tomorrow Would there be peace? No living in the shadow?
Stalingrad Millions of ghosts are marching Afghanistan The marters march for glory Vietnam The GI's biggest nightmare Lebanon Religions bloody story
They still display their might in Red Square Our missiles face towards the eastern block I have a dream that all old soldiers Spend their last days in a world of peace
They were friends at last It has taken seventy years There was no more hate Only hope behind their fears
Here we are living in the shadow Guns can kill just like bows and arrows If all the world laid down their arms tomorrow Would there be peace?
