Lyrics
On The Verge 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.
How long, how long, how long?
How long, how long, how long?
And if you'd asked me where I'd be in twenty years
I'd fill your ears with a tale of cheers and happiness
But now the vision so clear disappears
Ooh, based on candid fears and cloudiness
On the verge of war
We find ourselves on the battle line
So how long can we stand in the fire?
How long can we hope to stay alive?
How long, how long, how long?
And whether pro or con the light is on
In every mind across the way
Seize the day and make a choice
And if nothing's solved, we're still involved in this fight
And we need a united voice
On the verge of war
We find ourselves on the battle line
So how long can we stand in the fire?
How long can we hope to stay alive?
How long can we wait to find out what we have become?
How long 'till we see the other side?
Leave behind the future as I knew it when I drew it out
On a map of time
So how long can we stand in the fire?
How long can we hope to stay alive?
How long can we wait to find out what we have become?
Oooh, how long? Ah…
How long, how long, how long?
And I'm talking to you
How long, how long, how long?
And I really want to know
How long, how long, how long?
