This Is War

Moments to tell the truth Moments to still tell lies What do you prefer The time god Decides if you should live or die The time when you kill And not to feel the guilt This is war Some think its great Others think its hell People getting Shot or stabbed This is war They march in the shadows In the streets or fields of battle This is war We wear our medals Proud to be alive Holding little burning candles For the ones who died This is war To the right or left We will fight to the death Till the edge of the world Comes to a rest This is war We come home to our families Tears in our eyes Just so happy To see there smiling faces We kiss and hug Making sure everything is alright Then we say goodnight For the day has come to a rest This is war We will always have The memories of others Until one day We will see them again In the light of shimmering candles
