Beautiful 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.
It's a beautiful day to see my prey
It's a beautiful day for a daring raid
I can see my prey from afar
So, I open the hatch and drop the first batch
It's a shame, I'll miss the blaze
But I'll see the film within days
And I'll get to see the replay of my beautiful day
Re live my day
My beautiful day
Re live my beautiful day
When I opened the hatch
And I dropped the first batch
How they got no time to flee?
Total success, we'll all be free
We'll all be free, we'll all be free
We'll all be free, we'll all be free
What a beautiful day, just a beautiful day
Just a beautiful day, just a beautiful day
