Invictus - Agony Of War lyrics

rate me

Silence...

Do you know why?

They killed the dogs

They called them dogs

Killed the dogs

But they say I'm not human

Shame on them

I don't know why

They treat me like a dust

Dust of man

I remember

I can feel their batons beating in my head

Sometimes when I'm lonely

I can feel their blood in my veins *

Killed the dogs

But they say...

Killed the dogs

But they try...

They killed the dogs

Please tell me more

I wonder why

Please tell me why

I sometimes hear

Bombs exploding loudly... in my head

I can see

In your tired eyes

Like a leaf of fear, no more tears...

[* Harry S. Truman, 33rd president.

Truman issued this warning to Japan urging surrender in a radio address to the American people on August 9, 1945.]

"The world will note that the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, a military base.

We won the race of discovery against the Germans.

We have used it in order to shorten the agony of war, in order to save the lives of thousands and thousands of young Americans.

We shall continue to use it until we completely destroy Japan's power to make war.&quot;<br />
