After The War Lyrics - After The War - Gary Moore

So many came before you, 

The prisoners of fate. 

A history of bloodshed, 

A legacy of hate. 

But where will you be standing 

When the battles have been won? 

Inside your lonely fortress 

The battle's just begun. 

After the war 

Who will you be fighting for? 

After the war is over. 

After the fire 

Is burning to its dying embers. 

After the war.

A letter from the draft board, 

Put pain to all your dreams. 

You're just another number 

In military schemes. 

They marched you in a uniform 

You wore against your will. 

With lies of hope and glory, 

They taught you how to kill. 

After the war 

Who will you be fighting for? 

After the war is over. 

After the fire 

Is burning to its dying embers. 

After the war.

After the war, 

You thought you'd be a hero. 

After all that you survived. 

If hell was meant for heroes, 

You'd surely have arrived. 

After the war. 

After the war. 

After the war 

who will you be fighting for? 

After the war 

who will you be fighting for? 

After the fire 

is burning to its dying embers. 

After the war.
