Battle Hymn for Children: in the name of peace we make war.

I just can't stop running this through my head... over and over and over. And haunted by what we do to children. And hopeful that I'm one of the ones leading by example to the path of peace. Lyrics Below, and video underneath.
Battle Hymn for Children - The Faint

teacher

bring me to heaven

or leave me alone

why make me work so hard

when you know i work slow?

don't make us watch you scrape

more powder on the walls

show us a laser

take to space

or let us go

we got violent games on pause at home



you've seen this angst take shape

don't hide those guilty eyes

you gave us guns for toys

we trained with cross hair scopes

then in the name of peace we make war



sergeant

i don't remember how you said to deal with guilt

i'm haunted by families

even ghosts of soldiers kids

is it God against god

and the pawns are people?

if they're both the same god

then the battle's over

details



preacher

am i gonna make it?

am i going up?

am i forgiven for the humans i dropped?

it's not like a game once the guilt piles up

if i knew what i know now

it's easy to say i wouldn't go

i had violent games on pause at home



you know how hate takes shape

don't hide those guilty eyes

you gave us guns for toys

imposed beliefs then pride

we were taught that God prefers the U.S.A.

just like the billboard sign -"this is god's country"

if it's true that god roots for the U.S.A.

is every bomb we drop in god's name?
