Mulcahy's War Song

There's no one singing war songs now like people used to do

No over there, no praise the Lord, no glory hallelu

Perhaps at last we've asked ourselves what we should have asked before

With pain and death this madness brings, what were we ever singing for

There's no one looking out for them that can't see for themselves

No one hears the desperate scream of the helpless cry for help

If singing songs for fighting wars could bring anyone peace

Then silence would not be sacred, yet grief would bring relief
