They stood together back in '86

Two old soldiers came in search of peace

They shared a vodka with their memories

Held hands and cried on Armistice

They were friend at last

It had taken seventy years

There was no more hate

Only hope behind their fears

Here we are living in the shadow

Guns can kill just like bows and arrows

If all the world laid down their arms tomorrow

Would there be peace?

No living in the shadow?

We can travel round the universe

But we can't live together side by side

Did we ever learn the lessons we were taught?

Still on bloodstained roads, we hear the thunder roar

Here we are living in the shadow

Guns can kill just like bows and arrows

If all the world laid down their arms tomorrow

Would there be peace?

No living in the shadow?

Stalingrad

Millions of ghosts are marching

Afghanistan

The marters march for glory

Vietnam

The GI's biggest nightmare

Lebanon

Religions bloody story

They still display their might in Red Square

Our missiles face towards the eastern block

I have a dream that all old soldiers

Spend their last days in a world of peace

They were friends at last

It has taken seventy years

There was no more hate

Only hope behind their fears

Here we are living in the shadow

Guns can kill just like bows and arrows

If all the world laid down their arms tomorrow

Would there be peace?

No living in the shadow?
