Ready For War

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
