Yellow Rain Lyrics - Original Album Classics - Pretty Maids

Tears in his eyes, the fear, oh, it never dies 

The echoes of the past are rolling on and on 

For those who were left back 

Tomorrow never comes, oh, it never comes 

And after all these years something still remains 

The forever repercussions, the eternal pain 

Another sleepless night and another break of day 

It doesn't matter anymore, his life will fade away in yellow rain 

They crossed the water back in '69 

They fought for glory behind the enemy lines 

Fighting for the nations, pushed into the war 

Without not even knowing why or what they're fighting for 

Oh, oh, out on the plains 

Some are the masters, some are the slaves 

Oh, oh, war is a never ending mission 

You're just a pawn in a game where the number is your name 

Left home as heroes, fools when they returned 

Blamed for all the damage and the villages they burned 

Betrayed by their leaders, murderers they were called 

Denounced as crazy maniacs and locked behind the walls 

Oh, oh, out on the plains 

Some are the masters, some are the slaves 

Oh, oh, war is a never-ending mission 

They are the victims, doomed to die 

In yellow rain 

We've seen them dying in the fields 

In yellow rain 

Just like a knight who's in a fight, without a shield 

Oh, no, try to forget, but it just won't go 

Oh no, forever in their memories 

Oh no, hell's just some thousand miles away 

Oh, no, no 

Oh, oh, out on the plains 

Some are the masters, some are the slaves 

Oh, oh, war is a never-ending mission 

They are the victims, doomed to die 

In yellow rain 

We've seen them dying in the fields 

In yellow rain 

Just like a knight who's in a fight, without a shield
