about

a plea and argument for peace, with music adapted in part from the slow movement of Beethoven's 7th symphony

lyrics

There will be peace, someday there will be peace
Its hard to believe, the bloodshed will cease
Back in olden days, the whole world was crazed
But violence has decreased, and yes there will be peace


In ancient civilizations, there were human sacrifices
And in the middle ages, a huge parade of vices
Murder was everywhere, torture a state affair
Endless wars and homicides and death by a thousand slices


Look around us now, seems like it’s never been worse
That we’ve never been more violent, in blood we are immersed
But in old days they were silent, to what we now see as so violent
Yes the old days were worse, positively perverse

We’re actually much better but it seems like so much worse
