After The War - Lyrics by Gary Moore


Lyrics
So many came before youthe prisoners of fate
A hstory of bloodsheda legacy of hate.
But where will you be standing when the battles have been won?
Inside your lonely fortress the battles just begun.
After the warwho will you be fighting for? After the war is over.
After the fire is burning to its dying embersafter the war.A letter from the draft board put paid to all your dreams
You're just another number in military schemes.
They marched you in a uniformyou wore against your will
With lies of hope and glory they taught you how to kill.
After the warwho will you be fighting for? After the war is over....
You thought you'd be a heroe after all that survived
If hell was meant for heroes then surely you've arrived.
After the warafter the war.
After the warwho will you be fighting for?
After the warwho will you be fighting for?
After the fire is burning to its dying embersafter the war.
