Em              C G Em      C G
There's no peace,   only war
Victory decides who's wrong or right
It will not cease, only grow
You better be prepared to fight

F#m
And it will not apologize
B                     C
For laying down your life

Chorus:
Em C G
War

There's no pain, it will spare
Fear has become your only right
And once you're lost, in your despair
Forever black eternal night

And it will not apologize
For laying down your life

Chorus:
Em C G Em C G
War,
     Em C G Em C G
Destroyer
Em C G Em C G
War,
     Em C G Em C G
Destroyer

It needs no side to justify
Laying down your life

Chorus:
War,
Destroyer
War
