Winning A War T5 Lyrics - Pain Of Salvation

[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!" 

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 

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
