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
