Destructive paths and narrowed minds 
Wait for someone to cross that line 
Bombs ignite as they start their cars 
Problems unsolved; left only scars 
Pushing viewpoints and pointing fingers 
The stench of death is all that lingers 
Torn in two and divide by bars 
Always fighting; peace is ours

Peace in the east
Seems to be ceased

Shattered dreams and scattered hopes 
As the assassin zeros his scope 
Rising forces; using sources 
Of destruction; playing war games 
How much blood must be spilled 
Is this war worth the guilt 
If they must, inflict pain 
What have they come to gain

Peace in the east 
Seems to be ceased

Sons & fathers; mothers & daughters 
Try to survive their governments slaughter 
Children play with little hope 
With broken families, they try to cope 
Peace in the east is so blind 
Running circles in my mind 
We are one & we share the land 
Why can’t they just understand 

Peace in the east 
Seems to be ceased
