Staccato Lullaby

Hush hush now
Don't say a word
Don't listen to
The raging war

Ignore the bullets
In the air
The pain they cause
And the dead's cold stares

It's just the sound that carries you
While you die
It belongs to the guns
Their staccato lullaby

Fall into the gentle hands
That are death
Let go of the pain
Let yourself rest
