Fortunes Of War Lyrics - The X Factor - Iron Maiden

After the war 

And now that they've sent us homeward 

I can't help but feel that I'm on my own 

No one can see 

Just what this conflict has done to 

The minds of the men who're on their way home 

I'm scarred for life 

But it's not my flesh that's wounded 

So how can I face the torment alone? 

The vivid scenes 

And all the recurring nightmares 

I lay there and sweat until it gets light

People say don't worry 

Say that time's a perfect healer 

That the nightmares they will come to pass 

Can't hear what they're sayin' 

I am living in my own world 

And I'm feeling trance like all the time 

I hear voices in my head 

Could I really be going crazy? 

In the night the visions seem so real 

Do you care if you live or die? 

When you laugh are you really cryin' 

You're not sure what's real anymore

No pain anymore

I wonder if I've the strength 

Carry on
