She wept when they crept in
The night outside my home
The silence after twilight, it
It chilled me to the bone
Seems like it's all a bad dream
When the enemy's at your door
I pray for peace
But I'm ready for war
I pray for peace
But I'm ready for war, ready for war
The path's chosen in a moment
Just a blinking of an eye
You hear click-clack, can't forget that
It's their life or it's mine
Hear the battle cries in the darkness
Still I'm walking straight through that door
Yes, I pray for peace
But I'm ready for war
I pray for peace
But I'm ready for war, ready for war
Oh Lord, set me free
'Cause I ain't gonna wait no more
I pray for peace
But I'm ready for war, ready for war
