Lyrics
MASTERS OF HATE
-- Will Clark--
2003
I
Masters of Hate live and let live.
Bury your past and find reasons to give
A new beginning to the children of your lives,
Let them grow-up to be husbands and wives.
Chorus
Why do we teach hate to our loving sons?
Why steal their joy by handing them guns?
Why give them bombs, instead of love?
Is this the message from above?
II
Masters of Hate, lay down your arms,
And teach love to the children in their mothers arms.
Let the children laugh and run about free.
This should be the goal for all humanity.
Chorus
III
Hatred corrupts and hatred destroys,
The precious lives of our girls and boys.
Innocence is crushed with this bitter hate,
Is killing the way to Heaven?s Gate?
Is Killing the way to Heaven?s Gate?
Chorus (twice)
