Lyrics
Centre of the War

I can see what it takes to be a king, the power to seduce your mind so you'll think and speak his words day and night. You can't control your mind when he speaks to you publicly through radio ears and TV eyes.
With fire in his eyes he has the power to win on the multidollard battlefield and he needs your life for the sake of respect to your kind. Follow me in the shadows of war.
Thsi can't be what I think is real. All this misery, could this be me? Deep in my mind grows agony.
Beside me on the bedroom table lay my military call up. When I woke I was going to war. My mind is searching for the answers to the questions hidden in the dark. Will I stay alive or lose my mind, will I ever see my wife again. You see, she belongs to me like a vision in my mind. Now I am having the military call up in my hand asking why
On and on and on and on it rolls in the centre of the war. Terror and evil are the unbelievable rewards.
Finally they came to me and I followed them into the heat of the flames, and I sold out my soul.
On and on and on and on it rolls in the centre of the war. Terror and evil are the unbelievable rewards.
On and on and on and on it rolls in the centre of the war. Terror and evil are the unbelievable rewards.
Down below I saw a sight that forever changed my life. I saw the bowels and bones with my eyes. When I saw the sight of a soldier in the corner of my eye. I turned around and what did I see? His shotgun pointed at me. I can feel pain. Fire that burns inside of me. I turned around a saw a friggin' twelve-year-old boy who took away my soul.
On and on and on and on it rolls in the centre of the war. Terror and evil are the unbelievable rewards.
I'll die for your hand, so lead me to the never never land. It's up to you now as I see it. I'll never ever pull the trigger and kill against my will, even if it's a friggin' twelve-year-old who took me away.
