"Prayer for Peace" (平和への祈り Heiwa e no Inori) is a song composed by Akira Ifukube, with lyrics by Shigeru Kayama, and performed by students of the Toho High School of Music for the 1954 Toho film, Godzilla. It was covered by Fabio Frizzi for the Italian version of the film, nicknamed "Cozzilla", and would go on to be used as the basis for the main title of two of Lucio Fulci's films, Zombi 2 and City of the Living Dead.[1]

Oh peace, oh light
Hasten back to us
May we live without destruction
May we look to tomorrow with hope
May peace and light return to us
Our hearts are filled with prayer
This we pray
Hear our song
And have pity on us
May we live without destruction
May we look to tomorrow with hope
