LYRICS AND BASIC CHORDS
(Intro)
Em | D | A (x2)
(Verse 1)
Em D A
Earth drenched in red, sky painted gray
Em D A
Death fills the air, wind is lost its sway
Em D A
Birds' songs lie silenced, replaced by cannon's fire
Em D A
War's a twisted game, where life will meet its end
(Chorus)
F G A
What's left of life, when evil's taken hold?
F G A
What's left of love, when hearts are torn and cold?
F G C G A
Medals on my chest, but wounds that never mend
F G D
War's a twisted game, where life will meet its end
(Interludio - whistle)
Em | D | A (x2)
(Verse 2)

Mothers' cries pierce the night, children starve in pain

The sick and old suffer, life's a cruel refrain

Em D A
Tyranny and oppression, is all we'll ever find
(Chorus)

What's left of life, when evil's taken hold?

Lay down your arms, don’t let the fight begin
A G D
Survive this madness, hope will never die
A G
Stop this hate, don't let the darkness win

Lay down your arms, don’t let the fight begin
A G D
Survive this madness, hope will never die

A new day's dawning, peace will rise so high
(Solo)
