Tony kakko - The Elephant lyrics

[Verse 1] I know, I've never been to a war And hope I never have to See my world go up in flames With greed nor desire All wars be a feast of d**h And the truth goes by a bodyguard of lies They feed on our fears War's a contagion [Pre-Chorus] A tiny child learned to build a wall He has built a wall He has sealed the door He has been to war He will wage war "The shortest war in recorded history took place in 1896 When Zanzibar surrendered to Britain after 38 minutes The longest war was the so-called 100-year war Between Britain and France It actually lasted 116 years, ending in 1453 One out of every two casualties of war Is a civilian caught in the crossfire There are 92 known cases of nuclear bombs lost at seas The doors that cover the US nuclear silos Weigh 748 tons and open in 19 seconds. Wow About 50% of arms exports Go to non-democratic regimes Since 1495, no 25-year period has been without war Since 1815 there have been More than 210 interstate wars The NATO attack on Serbia in 1999 during The Kosovo war k**ed more animals than people The very first bomb the Allies dropped On Berlin in World War II k**ed the only Elephant in the Berlin Zoo" [Chorus] k**ed the only elephant in Berlin Zoo A victim of that madness No war ends ‘till the war is won Our template of doom They will k** the only elephant in your town too Blue diamond, lifeless, formless Little Boy Blue, like his papa once too Blood will stay on the blade [Bridge] Children will learn to destroy the things they can't build [Chorus] k**ed the only elephant in Berlin Zoo A victim of that madness No war ends 'till the war is won Our template of doom They will k** the only elephant in your town too Blue diamond, lifeless, formless Little Boy Blue, like his daddy once too Blood'll stay on the blade [Outro] He will go to war He will build a wall He will seal the door He will end all wars
