nobody wins at war
but faceless men who sell the law

nobody wins at war
especially not the hungry and poor

so why do they make more
sending sons and daughters to the fore

The following is the poetic translation into Romanian, by Maria Raducanu

Nimeni nu castiga din razboi
Poate doar cei fara de chip, fara de zei
Nimeni nu castiga din razboi
Nu noi cei multi plini de nevoi
Si atunci de ce sa se-intample
De ce din nou mortii sa ne dam?

Then, translated back into English it changes a little to:

Nobody wins from a war
Maybe only those faceless men who lost their gods
Nobody wins at war
Not us the simple people
So then why make it happen again
Why give once again death to our sons and daughters?
