Deadman's War

lyrics

Deadman’s War

A mother’s tears roll out before me
They cut like lightning through my eyes
The battlements are scarred with toys and broken little girls and boys
And terror in the eyes of ones so young

There may be no final answer
No one wins a deadman’s war

I hate it when the sun don’t shine
I’m fighting not to loose my mind
And I don’t want to go there anymore

You stand upon your point of view
It don’t justify the things you do
And I don’t want to go there anymore

Captive eyes and words of anger
Shelter in the guise of faith
While the Prince of Peace and Prophet cry at innocence again denied
You’ll never shape a world this way

Ch.

There may be no final answer
Till we all stand back and think it through again
Till the weak, oppressed and children stand under the love sent from above
Hey no one wins a deadman’s war

Ch
