Not so idle threats take place behind those steel doors
Intimidation to escalation, the likelihood of a holy war 
Politicians getting nervous, TV news ratings soar 
Any day now, any day now, history repeats it’s worst mistake 

Before the guns we must fight, convince ourselves it’s not right 
Before the guns we must claim,
The call to love and not to blame, the call to love and not to blame 

Before the guns, before the guns we must fight 
Before the guns, before the guns it’s not right 

The echoes of the mothers who lost their sons and daughters 
All the speeches and new monuments, pay tribute to their slaughter
and in the end it’s all the same, we’ve got denial and we act real brave 
We bow our heads to amazing grace, the president says God bless this place 

Before the guns we must fight, convince ourselves it’s not right 
Before the guns we must claim the call to love and not to blame, the call to love and not to blame 

Before the guns, before the guns before the guns we must fight 
Before the guns, before the guns, it’s not right 

Will the earth hold up? Will the sea turn red with blood? 
Will the air grow bitter, from a single blast 

Not so idle threats take place behind those steel doors 
Intimidation to escalation, the likelihood of a bloody war 
Politicians eat their words, TV news ratings soar 
Any day now, any day now history repeats its worst mistake, history repeats its worst mistake 

Before the guns we must fight, convince ourselves it’s not right 
Before the guns we must claim, the call to love and not to blame, the call to love and not to blame 

Before the guns, before the guns we must fight 
Before the guns, before the guns it’s not right 
Before the guns, before the guns we must fight 
Before the guns, Before the Guns, it’s not right 
We must fight, It’s not right, We must fight.
