(Verse 1)
Hasn't the price been paid, my friend?
Bring them home, all the boys and men.
Why are we doing this, again and again?

(Chorus)
When will the madness end?
Bring them home, all the boys and men.
When will the madness end?
Bring them home, all the boys and men.

(Verse 2)
When cities fall and turn to dust,
No shelter from the bombs' cruel thrust,
And homes are lost to greed and hate,
Just tears to mark a child's sad fate.

(Chorus)
When will the madness end?
Bring them home, all the boys and men.
When will the madness end?
Bring them home, all the boys and men.

(Verse 3)
On the battlefield the victims lie,
They did not know the reason why.
Enemy by enemy, brothers of the soil,
Their forgotten life and endless toil.

[Bridge]
The stench of burning flesh.
The sound of howls and screams.
Crows flying low,
The sky is falling.
The lonely soul cries out for the lost—
For mercy and God!
[Chorus]
We hid in caves, from rain and beasts.
The giants came from the north and east.
They covered the sea and shaded the sun.
The devastation of war had just begun.

(Chorus)
When will the madness end?
Bring them home, all the boys and men.
When will the madness end?
Bring them home, all the boys and men.

(Bridge)
In the room with the ceiling high,
Where older men in suits conspire,
They play their game while nations die,
And feed the cold, controlling fire.
Of oil, minerals, and religion's lie.

[Verse 4]
The night turns bright
From missiles in flight.
Mother holding child so tight.
Will we ever see the morning light?
[Pause]
[Chorus]
Oh my saviour, why do you hide
Oh Messiah.
Oh Jesus!

[Pause]

(Climax / Final Chorus)
Why are we doing this, again and again?
When will the madness end?
Bring them home, all the boys and men.

(Outro)
Explosions rip through flesh and bone
Rains sulfur, fire, and ash fall like stone
The sun crawls behind the moon—endgame.
Sodom and Gomorrah, consumed by flame

The smell of rot and gunpowder reigns.
And history repeats its pains.


A hatred sown by those in power,
All boys and men are forced to cower,
Mistrust bred in nests of fire.
And fed to the war's desire.
And so the question is asked again:
"When will this horror finally end?"
[Pause]

(Spoken Outro)
"When there are no more boys and men."
