Lyrics
Shades Of 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.
Burial of a human being
A man before a boy
Born to fight in another man's world
Not a world where there's a war
Born relihiously
Truth is what they see
Death won't come form peace
Who fuels this war?
Sacred ground of life
Burnt remains of the dead
Bodies lay to rest
Spirits of the earth
Rancid man, burned alive
Too blind to see what's wrong from right
Locked inside this cage
So many times blood has poured
Walk with shadows
Hear the shades of war forever more
Brought into this world of bitter pain
Are we safe or just insane
Rancid man, burned alive
Too blind to see what's wrong from right
Darkness veils their way
So many times blood has poured
Walk with shadows
Hear the shades of war forever more
