O Lord our god
Help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells
Help us to cover their fields with the pale forms of their dead
Help us to drown the thunder of their guns
With the shrieks of their wounded
Writhing in pain

A Prayer for war
A Prayer for war
A Prayer for war
A Prayer for war

O lord our god
Help us destroy their humble homes
In a hurricane of fire
Help us to wring the unoffending hearts
Of their widows with grief
Help us to turn them out, with their children
To wander the wastes
Of their desolated land

A Prayer for war
A Prayer for war
A Prayer for war
A Prayer for war

For the sakes who adore the Lord
Blast their hopes, blight their lives
On their bitter pilgrimage
Make heavy their steps
And water their way with tears, my Lord
Stain the white snow
With the blood of their wounded feet, my Lord
And we ask it in the spirit of love....

A Prayer for war
A Prayer for war
A Prayer for war
A Prayer for war
