Roland Grapow - Strange Friend lyrics

I saw strange friends dying in vain

Dressed in blood red robes

Only id-tags will remain

Nobody asks why they fought

Now I'm standing here not alone

In the middle of the battlefeild

The smell of blood still in my nose

But my eyes can't see enemies

It's hard to understand

Why do we kill each other, friend

When I look into your eyes I see myself and cry

[Chorus:]

Why do our children cry for us

When we children kill

And women rape, without any hate

Cause they tell us: "Dig your grave"

He softly whispers

They tells us this war is right

We must kill each other on this night

Slaughter friends like animals

There is no way back from hell

It still angers me when they tell us

We're the only who have that right

Is it luck, a chance or fate

That we stand here still alive

It's hard to understand

Why should I shoot you, friend

When I look into your eyes I see myself and cry
