The little creatures run in from the cold

Back to the nest just like the days of old

There in the safety of a mother's arms

The warmth of ages, far away from harm again.

Ears ringin' from the battle fire

The tired warrior aims a little higher

The black falcon or the little sparrow

The healing light or the flash of the barrel.

No one wins

It's a war of man,

No one wins

It's a war of man.

Silver mane flyin' in the wind

Down through the planets on the run again

No one knows where they're runnin' to

But every kind is comin' two by two.

Out on the delta where the hoofbeats pound

The daddy's runnin' on the frozen ground

Can't smell the poison as it follows him

Can't see the gas and machines, it's a war of man.

No one wins

It's a war of man,

No one wins

It's a war of man.

The windows open and the little girl dreams

The sky's her playground as she mounts her steed

Across the heavens to the other side

On wings of magic does the little girl ride.

The baby creatures run in from the cold

Back to the nest just like the days of old

There in the safety of a mother's arms

The warmth of ages, far away from harm again.

No one wins

It's a war of man,

No one wins

It's a war of man,

No one wins.
