Winning a War

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 voltures 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 vultures need war)
I won't miss you dad!
I'll shut down

But daddy, I miss you so
And I need you here, dad I'm alone here and
Daddy, I'm loosing your war out here

Daddy need me, love and lead me
Your superseding war won't feed me
