Winning A War

Whoah
Hey
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, oh
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
(Earth bleeding)
Dad, who is winning a war?
(Earth bleeding)
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 vultures need war)
War, war
War!
War
I’ll shut down
But daddy, I miss you so
And I need you here
Dad, I’m alone here and
Daddy, I’m losing your war out here
Daddy need me, love and lead me
Your superseding war won’t feed me
