For There Is War! Lyrics - Singles - October 31

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!
