The War
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The ocean is on fire
The sky turned dark again
As the boats came in
And the beaches
Stretched out with soldiers
With their arms and guns
It has just begun
Believe, do you want this ?
Believe, do I want this too ?
Why wont you tell me that
It's almost over ?
Why must this tear my head
Inside out ?
And the houses
Laid out like targets
With the deafening sound
We watched them all go down
And the families
Now useless bodies
They lay still black and blue
A gift from us to you
Believe, do you want this ?
Believe, do I want this too ?
Why wont you tell me that
It's almost over ?
Why must this tear my head
Inside out ?
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh ... (Believe)
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh ...
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh ... (Believe, you want this too)
Why wont you tell me that
It's almost over?
Why must this tear my head
Inside out?
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh ...
