Heaven Shall Burn - Bring the War Home lyrics
[Heaven Shall Burn - Bring the War Home lyrics]
Into their wars and riots for the ideal
To serve the ones I love yes, all too soon
No recognition for my pointless sacrifice
And far too late I saw
I left my home defenceless
This world's a slaughterhouse
And men like me are not the butchers
I brought justice to no one
But there was no doubt
It always stands to reason protect the just
Conquer the felons
Returned wounded and broken
But, I never left these barren fields
And now I understand
There is no war to end all wars
Take it from me drowning your honest love
In mindless violence i bring the war home
Still raging within me
All too soon
These children lost their fathers
And far too late I saw
That not for them I fought
The gods of profit led me into their battles
I never brought security
To those I wanted to protect
Feeding the machine and staining this world
With blood instead
And only now I understand
There is no war to end all wars
Take it from me drowning your honest love
In mindless violence i bring the war home
Still raging within me
Still raging within me
Take it from me you'll carry the war home
I brought justice to no one
Now they spit me in the face
I did not recognize the real offenders
And now I understand
There is no war to end all wars
Take it from me drowning your honest love
In mindless violence i bring the war home
Still raging within me
We brought affliction to the masses
And splendour to a few we are aggressors
Not defenders not defenders
