Dark raging war is ended, lay down your arms;
Let broken days wax mended, lay down your arms.
Great storm past at last, seas dream in placid rest;
No more great threats now scended, lay down your arms.
From out the dark, fresh beginnings bright draw nigh;
New hopes may yet be tended, lay down your arms.
Time is come to free grim resentments and harms;
Let brave new ways go wended, lay down your arms.
Tread forth into fantastic revealing quest;
Let heal life long upended, lay down your arms.
Unfetter questions deep, free them as a sigh;
Answers will be extended, lay down your arms.
Release reactions learned to faithless alarms,
And grasp judgements emended, lay down your arms.
Make not bitter hatreds drear a place to nest;
From sorrows rise transcended, lay down your arms.
Oh Zahaar, old warrior, let the fighting lie,
And past wrongs be amended, lay down your arms.
