______________
Victim of War |
--------------

War looms closer with each passing day
Fear creeps up as pain sets in
It's under your nose and in your face
Around every corner, at every place
Bleeding hearts and children crying
Curses flying, people dying.

They say it's for a cause, and we're to blame.
Little do they know that they're the shame.

Worse and worse with each new day
Terror reigns as the blood does flow
The sky rains blame as bodies begin to fall
It's like being trapped behind some big wall
With nowhere to go and no place to run
Just waiting for a person to kill you for fun.
With broken homes and shattered lives,
This war's just begun, you have to stay strong,
But too late it already is, the damage is done.

Consumed by anger and driven by hate
Darkness comes to hand me my fate.

Death and destruction happen each day
It makes you wonder, will it ever go away?
With no end in sight
All that's left is to stand and fight
For that little freedom we have left
Before carnage consumes and destroys us all
But til then I will stand tall
And continue to fight, give it my all
My fullest might, so that we'll reunite
To stop this terror and end this war
It's a long way off and we've got ages to go
So let the pain begin and let the blood flow.

This war is pointless, we want to be free
Instead of just living a life of misery.

The end is near... for me it is
And I can finally hear
The enemy's sound, coming near
Soon I'll have an empty gaze
Close my eyes and go to a special place
See the face of one young man
Laughing with joy, without a care in the world
Who's actually free...
The light's out, the pain over,
But now I see
That young man was me.

Endless suffering nearly at an end
A deep, dark slumber soon will descend.

Even though I'm gone
And the war's finally ended for me
You've got to stay, and fight to be free
Let them know what it's like to be me
Dead, but painless, and finally free
Laying at rest, in harmony
Then the war shall end and peace shall descend
To the four corners of the world.

They say it's for a cause, and we're to blame.
Little do they know that they're the shame.

This war is pointless, we want to be free
Instead of just living a life of misery.

Consumed by anger and driven by hate
Darkness comes to hand me my fate.

Endless suffering nearly at an end
A deep, dark slumber soon will descend.

That will be your rebirth, no more suffering,
Happy and free, just like you always wanted to be.

Just don't forget about people like me...
