Know the song we hold most dear
Brings about our darkest fear
Gives us hope of life and peace
But our loss does not decrease
Someone's loss, another's gain
Taking pleasure, giving pain
Pleasure, pain, and peace and life
Joined together like man and wife
Peace and life are ever one
With pain and death since time begun
Death and spite and fear and pain
Drenching all in bleak disdain
Life and light and peace and love
Flying like a gentle dove
Life and death and peace and war
All of us know what they're for
War brings peace like burning fire
Love bring hatred without ire
Life bring death, a gentle rose
Living brings us all these woes
Without one they all are lost
Peace and war, all have their cost
Hope and fear, they all are kin
Love and hate, no one can win
Song of death, ages old
Brings us life, as foretold
This the song that we must hear
Hate with love and hope with fear.
