Words used as weapons

Hurting like a knife

Violence, intolerance

Between man and wife

A little child that shivers

Afraid of its own daddy's touch



Those people look like you and me

Absolutely ordinary

Sometimes you even find them

On Sunday mornings in the church



But you can see it in their eyes

They are private warriors in disguise

It is a struggle for existence

For the right to disagree



This is private war behind closed doors

Where it leads nobody knows

They are conquerors in the name of ignorance

This is private war behind closed doors

Just a family affair, but a red river's source

This is private war



Two heads of state discussing

Find no way to compromise

They hold their different points of view

And the tension starts to rise



They are just like you and me

But they got something deep within

There is a time bomb ticking

Under those people's skin



A man and his wife

Mother and daughter

Brother and brother

Father and son

If they had an army to command

So what would they have done



You can see it in their eyes

They are private warriors in disguise

It is a struggle for existence

For the right to disagree



This is private war behind closed doors

Where it leads nobody knows

They are conquerors in the name of ignorance

This is private war behind closed doors

Just a family affair, but a red river's source

This is private war



You can see it in their eyes

They are private warriors in disguise

It is a struggle for existence

For the right to disagree



This is private war behind closed doors

Where it leads nobody knows

They are conquerors in the name of ignorance

This is private war behind closed doors

Just a family affair, but a red river's source

This is private war

This is war
