Reflective of a life-long commitment to world peace, lyrics from Battlefield Earth’s “Declaration of Peace” were reprinted on thousands of parchments and bestowed on Ron’s behalf to those organizations dedicated to the same ends.
EAR ME!!
Out of a hell
of shot and shell,
Out of this
chaos of contention,
Let us bring
peace to pointless fight.
Why do we court
the whore called war?
Why make of earth a
shattered night?
There is no ecstasy
in killing.
Love alone
can make man willing.
So hear me warriors,
hear me mothers.
There is no pay in
slaughtered brothers.
Attention,
if your sense is fair,
heed that which we now declare.
PEACE! You
races far and wide.
Peace!
Abandon your blood-soaked suicide
and now abide in peace!
Echo me!
As in your hearts
you yearn for love, not death!
PEACE, we have
declared it.
Snarls and strife
must be at end!
In peace alone
can this earth mend.
And now find
ecstacy in love,
love for earth, for all
The gods of peace have now spoken.
OBEY!
