If You Live By Violence

If you live by violence more than likely by violence you'll die
Since violence creates violence and that's not a lie
A life for a life some see life in this way
But two wrongs never make a right as the wise are known to say
For love of God, Flag or Country there is some price for to pay
And for these people are dying in conflicts every day
Divided by religion and culture and divided by land
That respect for others is born out of empathy few seem to understand
Old enmities survive through Seasons long gone
And revenge creates more revenge and old hatreds live on
In life we make friends and in life we make foes
'Tis part of being human one would have to suppose
If you live by violence more than likely by violence you will die
Since violence creates more violence and that is not a lie.
