Pain Of Salvation - Winning a war T5 lyrics

[Lyrics by D. Gildenlow]

Once there was a world out on these fields

that was untouched

Grateful for its love we thanked the earth that gave so much

And oh, I loved it so!

Once there was a pair of eyes

unbroken just like my heart.

Belonging to a father and his son

now torn apart

And oh, I loved him so!

"Why, mommy?

Tell me why daddy is walking away

leaving me!"

I remember birds of pray

dark shadows piercing the ground!

Faceless men came shouting

about a pride to which we were bound

And oh, I searched for him so!

"Faith darling, have faith my son!

Your daddy is winning a war..."

"...for you!"

Daddy need me, love and lead me

Your superseding war won't feed me!

Watch fathers and sons

pale cling to their guns

Marching line by line

leaving reason behind

Their eyes now tensed with fear;

enemies are near

But all armies are

only fathers and sons...

Earth bleeding through their proceeding

All greedy vultures are needing

WAR! WAR! Dad - who is winning a war?

And dad - who is it for?

I won't shed a tear - I won't show no fear!

Won't disappoint you dad

(all greedy voltures need war)

I WON'T MISS YOU DAD!

Daddy need me, love and lead me

Your superseding war won't feed me

Daddy need me, love and lead me

Your superseding war won't feed me
