I Hate You, War! Lyrics

In youth we pretended to be soldiers

Killing each other we mistook it for an honor

Those were just fairytale wars

We came back alive from every single battle

We didn't understand the affliction that the real war will bring

How could we

We were just children playing in the garden

I, I hate you, war!

I hate everything about you

You took so many of my people

I swear that I will find a way to stop you

I, I hate you, war!

I hate everything about you

You took so many of my people

I swear that I will find a way to stop you

Nearly another decade has passed

Now we are playing grown up war games

We have no reason to hate or to fight

But we are getting ready to kill and to die

Attacking, defending

Until there's no-one left standing here

I, I hate you, war!

I hate everything about you

You took so many of my people

I swear that I will find a way to stop you

I, I hate you, war!

I hate everything about you

You took so many of my people

I swear that I will find a way to stop you

I'm losing count of the fallen comrades

In another life our enemies could have been friends

We could have played cards

We could have went out

Instead we are burying our daughters and sons

I, I hate you, war!

I hate everything about you

You took so many of my people

I swear that I will find a way to stop you

It feels like a lifetime has passed

Since we were young leads

So much blood has been shed

Now the rivers run red

Will this war ever end

I hate you, war!

Hate you, war!
