Pain of Salvation - Winning A War lyrics

Whoah hey

Once there was a world out on
These fields that was untouched
Grateful for it's love we thanked the
Earth that gave so much
And oh, I loved it so

Once there was a pair of eyes
Unbroken just like my heart
Belonging to a father and his son
Now torn apart and oh, I loved him so

"Why, mommy? Tell me why
Daddy is walking away, leaving me"

I remember birds of pray
Dark shadows piercing the ground
Faceless men came shouting about a pride
To which we were bound
And oh, I searched for him so

"Faith darling
Have faith my son! Your daddy is
Winning a war for you"

Daddy need me, love and lead me
Your superseding war won't feed me

Watch fathers and sons pale
Cling to their guns
Marching line by line, leaving reason behind
Oh their eyes now tensed with fear
Enemies are near
But all armies are only fathers and sons

Earth bleeding through their proceeding
All greedy vultures are needing war
(Earth bleeding) dad, who is winning a war?
(Earth bleeding) and dad, who is it for?
I won't shed a tear i won't show no fear
Won't disappoint you, dad
(All greedy vultures need war) war, war
War! War

I'll shut down

But daddy, I miss you so and I need you here
Dad, I'm alone here and
Daddy, I'm losing your war out here

Daddy need me, love and lead me
Your superseding war won't feed me
