lyrics

Is this a kind of vision
That we were warned about
Never had anybody stopped
To think ahead
And since war has now begun
There is no time no turning back
So we march on to defend
Our wives our children to the end
Through mud through fire
We bow our heads
Please Lord give us our daily bread
For we can't last just on a scratch
Our wounds will not repair or patch
Machines won't feel the aftermath
They'll break but feel no inner wrath
Dear men will fade into our past
And write the pages that we read
Will we learn
Politicians throw us out on
War infested playgrounds
Promises on promises
Apocalyptic mania
Hold on tight to your bed at night
As you slip into your past life
Look inside of your deepest mind
To find what we have been looking for
Oh what's coming next for us
Guns they fly the flag of war
Oh I hear a man he screams
Just bring the peace again
In the trench we stay down low
Or risk the end of our journey
Come so far yet we haven't moved
And the glory days are distant
It's the end for humankind
We must have all gone mental
Civilised and we're victimised
By this war
For no good reason
Oh over the top we go
Guns they fly the flag of war
Oh I see a man he falls
Won't see him smile again
I wonder how I wonder why
What is the point in all the lies
The men I've seen who fall and die
Looking through a soldier's eyes
Told my family I cared
About my country more than them
Then I saw the greater good
Looking through a soldier's eyes
What's the point in shooting men
When we're all in search
Of the same thing
Promises on promises
I've had enough I can't hear them
Peace will come will surely come
Will it ever come I'm not sure now
To tell the truth I've seen everything
I never want to again
Oh our country's gone for good
Guns they fly the flag of war
Oh who really knows the score
It's all the families
All the damage has been done
I'll never hold another gun
I hope I'll never see again
Looking through a soldier's eyes
The politicians will applaud
We gave them freedom from a war
They'll take for granted what we did
Looking through a soldier's eyes
I'm looking through my window pane
Tell me have I gone insane
My heart and soul I really tried
Looking through a soldier's eyes
It should be over let me go
Set me free from the warps of time
I shall never see remorse
Looking through a soldier's eyes
