Only Love Can End The War

[Verse 1]

I swore I'd stand where justice leans

Not break, not bend, not trade my dreams

But the deeper down I had to go

The more I looked like something low

[Verse 2]

I wore the scars like armor steel

Till rage was all I seemed to feel

I cursed the dark for what it took

Then saw the same shade in my look

[Pre-Chorus]

Is it justice, or just revenge dressed in light

When I stare back—just who’s winning this fight

[Chorus]

It starts with RAGE, it ends in chains,

Built from our own bloody stains.

You can’t cure poison with a sword—

And only love can end the WAR.

[Verse 3]

It’s not the fight that stains your skin,

It’s what you feed to win within.

If hate's your torch to light the night,

You burn your wings before you fight.

[Verse 4]

Every war leaves ashes in its wake,

Not all who lose are ones who break.

If we don’t pause to count the cost,

We wear their face, and we have lost.

[Pre-Chorus]

Can we walk through fire without catching flame

Can we battle beasts and not take their name

[Chorus]

It starts with RAGE, it ends in chains,

Built from our own bloody stains.

You can’t cure poison with a sword—

And only love can end the WAR.

[Verse 5]

We claim to fight for something pure,

But power makes the edges blur.

If we become what we defy,

Then even truth can wear a lie.

[Verse 6]

We got to be careful, not to lose our name

Not to drown our soul in another’s flame

We hunt their shadows, but forget our own

And turn into monsters cast into stone

[Pre-Chorus]

Are we chasing justice, or feeding pride

Do we still know what’s wrong and right

[Chorus]

It starts with RAGE, it ends in chains,

Built from our own bloody stains.

You can’t cure poison with a sword—

And only love can end the WAR.

[Verse 7]

We must be careful what we crave,

Lest we become what we once braved.

Not every wound requires a knife,

Not every war will save a life.

[Verse 8]

You can’t light stars with gasoline,

Or mend a soul with something mean.

The more we hate to feel alive,

The less of us is left inside.

[Pre-Chorus]

What if the villain looks back in the glass

What if we crossed that line too fast

[Chorus]

It starts with RAGE, it ends in chains,

Built from our own bloody stains.

You can’t cure poison with a sword—

And only love can end this WAR.

[Verse 9]

A monster’s not just fang and claw,

It’s hearts that lose their moral law.

When mercy dies in battle cries,

We wear their mask, not knowing why.

[Verse 10]

We build our cause with holy pride,

But shadows swell from deep inside.

You draw a sword, you draw a scar—

Even victors bleed in war.

[Pre-Chorus]

Are we still heroes when no one sees

Or just reflections of our enemies

[Chorus]

It starts with RAGE, it ends in chains,

Built from our own bloody stains.

You can’t cure poison with a sword—

And only love can end this WAR.

[Bridge]

It's a thin line, sharper than the blade

Between healing wounds and digging graves

How do we win without losing grace

How do we fight and still embrace

What do we trade when we raise our fists

Do we even know what mercy is

[Outro]

Do we rise to heal or just to harm

Can anger ever be disarmed

So look in the mirror, and hold your gaze—

Who have you become, in the war you wage

So walk the fire with love intact,

Or lose the soul you can’t get back.
