Look in my face and realize
I affect no two the same.
Look in my face. Can you tell me
What is my name?

I destroy, I kill, I cause hunger.
I ruin the lives of all.
I thrive on tears and heartaches,
Forcing your skin to crawl.

I take the young and turn them old.
I change the boys to men.
I am your ugliest nightmare.
I am your deepest sin.

I am caused by mankind, alone.
I shake the earth to it's core.
Look in my face and I'll tell you,
"My name is war!"
