    Verse 1
    Why 

    all these 
    bugles 
    crying 

    For squads 
    of young 
    men 
    drilled 

    To 
    kill 
    and 
    to 
    be 
    killed 

    Stood 
    waiting 
    by 
    this 
    train? 

    Verse 2
    Why 
    the orders 
    loud 
    and hoarse? 

    Why 
    the 
    engine's 
    groaning 
    cough 

    As it 
    strains 
    to 
    drag 
    us 
    off 

    Into 
    the holo
    caust? 

    Verse 3
    Why 
    crowds 
    who 
    sing 
    and 
    cry 

    And 
    shout 
    and 
    fling 
    us 
    flower

    And 
    trade 
    their 
    right 
    for 
    ours 

    To 
    murder 
    an
    to die? 

    Verse 4
    The 
    dove 
    has 
    torn 
    her 
    wings 

    so 
    no 
    more 
    songs 
    of 
    love 

    We are 
    not 
    here 
    to 
    sing 

    We're here 
    to 
    kill 
    the 
    dove 

    Verse 5

    Why 
    has 
    this 
    moment 
    come 

    When 
    childhood 
    has 
    to 
    die 

    When 
    hope 
    shrinks 
    to 
    sigh 

    And 
    speech 
    into 
    a drum? 

    Verse 6
    Why 
    are they 
    pale 
    and 
    still 

    Young 
    boys 
    trained 
    overnight 

    Conscripts 
    forced 
    to fight 

    And dressed 
    in gray 
    to 
    kill? 

    Verse 7
    These 
    rain 
    clouds 
    massing 
    tight 

    This 
    train 
    load 
    battle 
    bound 

    This 
    moving 
    burial 
    ground 

    Sent 
    thundering 
    toward 
    the 
    night 

    Verse 8
    The 
    dove 
    has 
    torn 
    her 
    wings 

    so 
    no 
    more 
    songs 
    of 
    love 

    We are not 
    here 
    to 
    sing 

    We're 
    here 
    to 
    kill 
    the 
    dove 

    Verse 9

    Why 
    statues 
    towering 
    brave 

    Above 
    the 
    last 
    defeat 

    Old 
    words 
    and lies 
    repeat 

    Across 
    the 
    new 
    made 
    grave? 

    Verse 10
    Why 
    the same 
    still 
    birth 

    That victory 
    always 
    brought 

    These 
    hours 
    of glory 
    bought 

    By 
    men 
    with 
    mouths 
    of 
    earth? 

    Verse 11
    Dead 
    ash 
    without 
    a spark 

    Where 
    cities 
    used 
    to 
    be 

    For guns 
    probe 
    every 
    light 

    And 
    crush 
    it 
    in 
    the dark 

    Verse 12
    The 
    dove 
    has 
    torn 
    her wings 

    so 
    no more 
    songs 
    of 
    love 

    We 
    are not 
    here 
    to sing 

    We're 
    here 
    to 
    kill 
    the 
    dove 


    Verse 13
    And 
    why 
    your 
    face 
    undone 

    With 
    jagged 
    lines 
    of tears 

    That 
    gave 
    in those 
    first 
    years 

    All 
    peace 
    ever won? 

    Verse 14
    Your 
    body 
    in the gloom 

    The platform 
    fading 
    back 

    Your shadow 
    on 
    the track 

    A flower 
    on a 
    tomb 

    Verse 15
    And 
    why 
    these 
    days 
    ahead 

    When I 
    must let 
    you cry 

    And live 
    prepared 
    to die 

    As if our 
    love 
    were dead? 

    Verse 16
    The dove 
    has 
    torn 
    her wings 
    so 

    no 
    more 
    songs 
    of 
    love 

    We are 
    not 
    here 
    to sing 

    Outro 1
    We're 
    here 
    to 
    kill 
    the 
    dove

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
