The Aftermath

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
Silently to silence fallIn the fields of futile warToys of death are spitting leadWhere boys that were our soldiers bledWar horse and war machineCurse the name of libertyMarching on as if they shouldMix in the dirt our brothers' bloodChorus:In the mud and rainWhat are we fighting for?Is it worth the pain?Is it worth dying for?Who will take the blame?Why did they make a war?Questions that come againShould we be fighting at all?Once a ploughman hitched his teamHere he sowed his little dreamNow bodies arms and legs are strewnWhere musterd gas and barbwire bloomEach moment's like a yearI've nothing left inside for tearsComrades dead or dying lieI'm left alone asking whyIn the mud and rainWhat are we fighting for?Is it worth the pain?Is it worth dying for?Who will take the blame?Why did they make a war?Questions that come againShould we be fighting at all?After the warLeft feeling no one has wonAfter the warWhat does a soldier become?After the warLeft feeling no one has wonAfter the warWhat does a soldier become?What is at all when the battles are done?After the war I mean, no one has wonI'm just a soldierAfter the warLeft feeling no one has wonAfter the warWhat does a soldier become?After the warLeft feeling no one has wonAfter the warWhat does a soldier become?
