If I Ever...

If I ever find myself at war
As the aggressor, as the victor
Would I torture, maim and kill?
Would I burn, rape and pillage?
And I enjoy it all?

I' m begging you, please,
Never let me find out.

If I ever find myself at war
As the victim, as the loser
Would I perjure and collaborate?
Would I betray my friends
To save myself and family?
Would I just desert?

I' m warning you,
Never put me to the test!
