Peace I desire and time without clamor.
I am dove of day, bird of peace and light.
My steps an enigma, my heart a banner.
Honor is worn like protective armor
When death runs slow with mayhem and might.
Peace I desire and time without clamor.
Rose of illusion blighted by anger,
Will rage now rule out the stars at night?
My steps an enigma, my heart a banner.
The tragedy of this world is now an altar
Few precious dead once viewed with delight.
Peace I desire and time without clamor.
My words received in an ungrateful manner,
An instinct of sanity I wish to ignite.
My steps an enigma, my heart a banner.
Life let it be a noble disclaimer,
My song be heard which I know is right.
Peace I desire and time without clamor,
My steps an enigma, my heart a banner.
