October 31 - For There Is War! lyrics

rate me

War!

Inside his mind it's '69

Somewhere in Vietnam

Yes, in his head there's millions dead

From guns, grenades, and bombs

For he's the one that feels the thunder

A prisoner of the times

Just trapped alone in a mental shock

And wanting just to die

As evil unfolds before the eyes

The horror of killing another man

One nation under God

For all around him there is pain

So is the wage of sin

The memories on the battlefield

Are buried deep within

For now the future's only past

And broken is this man

Eternally his life was lost

While fighting for his land

As evil unfolds before the eyes

The horror of killing another man

One nation under God

War! Forever there is war! For there is war!

He can thank the USA

For the way he feels today

For there is war! There is war!

I see them all around me

They're all living just to die

Just trying to make their way

And moving on

But nothing stops the torment

Of those days in Vietnam

As the battle in their minds

Is raging on

Shellshocked mindless madmen

For deep inside there is war!

They had the strength of courage

And they had the will to fight

But in the end they learned

Just how to die

And as they live the terror

Of a time so long ago

It's now too late

To save their wasted lives

And so again the music plays

The battle hymn of war

For there is war!

And every night within the dark

Those nightmares comes again

For there is war!

War!

So here's the lesson to be learned

Amongst this grief and pain

And that's in life there's nothing

Worth the hell of war again

So leave the courage to the fire

And vengeance will stay free

And liberty will carry on

For all eternity

As evil unfolds before the eyes

The horror of killing another man

One nation under God

War! Forever there is war! For there is war!
