Paroles de Winning a war T5

[Music by D. Gildenlow & D. Magdic]
[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!" 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
