Gary Moore - After the War lyrics
[Gary Moore - After the War lyrics]
The prisoners of fate a history of bloodshed
A 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 war who will you be fighting for?
After the war is over after the fire
Is burning to it's dying embers
After the war a letter from the draft board
Put pain to all your dreams
You're just another number
In military schemes
They marched you in a uniform
You wore against your will
With lies of hope and glory
They taught you how to kill
After the war who will you be fighting for?
After the war is over after the fire
Is burning to it's dying embers
After the war you thought you'd be a hero
After all that you survived
If hell was meant for heroes
Then surely you've arrived ah
After the war after the war
After the war who will you be fighting for?
After the war who will you be fighting for?
After the fire
Is burning to it's dying embers
After the war
