CHANTAL – Children Of War lyrics

Verse 1
A new age of terror.
A fear the world has never felt before
Is this a sign of things to come? Is this a sign humanity is done?
A world at war…. when will we learn?

Chorus
When will the killing cease? When will the terror stop?
When will the fear pass? When will it stop?
When will the killing cease? When will the terror stop?
When will the fear pass? When will it stop?


Verse 2
Impossible to forget, and so hard to forgive.
Our candles lit, as the world grieves.
Our hearts go out to all those bereaved.
Ah……for the children of war.

Chorus
When will the killing cease? When will the terror stop?
When will the fear pass? When will it stop?
When will the killing cease? When will the terror stop?
When will the fear pass? When will it stop?

Bridge 1
What is this hatred that murders our youth?
Their innocence betrayed by the honor of war.

Chorus
When will the killing cease? When will the terror stop?
When will the fear pass? When will it stop?
When will the killing cease? When will the terror stop?
When will the fear pass? When will it stop?

Bridge 2
They fight for a cause, but what cause is worth more than life?
They fight for religion, but religion teaches love.
They fight for power and might, but true strength is shown in tenderness.
They fight for revenge, they fight for those they’ve lost,
And their pain and hatred breed more war.

Chorus
When will the killing cease? When will the terror stop?
When will the fear pass? When will it stop?
When will the killing cease? When will the terror stop?
When will the fear pass? When will it stop?
When will it stop, when will it stop!
