It was ten minutes before the war
The quietest thing you ever saw
Ten minutes before the war
And everything was looking good
It was ten minutes during the war
The sickest thing you ever saw
Ten minutes during the war
And everything was dying fast
break
It was ten minutes after the war
The emptiest thing you ever saw
Ten minutes after the war
And there was nothing left
No more war
Is that what it takes for
No more war
No more war
Is that what it takes for
No more war
It was ten minutes
