Lyrics
Dona nobis pacem
Dona nobis pacem
How many more will suffer
How many more will bleed
How many in the name of peace will keep on screaming
How many more will suffer
How many more will cry
How many in the name of God will keep on dying for these
Masters of war
Masters of war
Masters of real deception
Masters of crying shame
Masters of war
Masters of war
Same old bullets flying
Same tired alibis
Same old hatred trying to block out any kind of light
But on that judgement day
Oh they'll be judgements flying
And on that judgement day they coming for you
Masters of war
Masters of war
Masters of real deception
Masters of crying shame
Masters of war
Masters of war
Dona nobis pacem
Dona nobis pacem
How many more will suffer
How many more will cry
How many in the name of God will keep on dying
How many more will suffer
How many more will cry
How many more
