Warsong

They fell down upon the killing fields like rain
And left one million families in pain
And now they gather at the great black wall
And a million tears of anger fall
Remembering when their sons were strong and tall

But if i could write
A song that could end all wars
I bet they wouldn't listen
If i could write
A song that could bring about peace
I bet they wouldn't listen

'cause don't you know
That still they're teaching their children
How to play with guns
Seems they're so eager for
Another war to come
And they too are going to leave someone behind
Twice as angry, and twice as blind
Another line in the anthem for the unkind

But if i could write
A song that could end all wars
I bet they wouldn't listen
If i could write
A song that could bring about peace
I bet they wouldn't listen
So sit here near me

And i will... tell you a story
About a... thousand heroes
In their... blaze of glory
They loved... wife and family
And they served... god and country
Until they fill... upon...

The killing fields like rain
And if i could write
A song that could end all wars
I bet they wouldn't listen
If i could write

A song that could bring about peace
I bet they wouldn't listen
I could write
A song that could end all wars
I bet they wouldn't listen
If i could write

A song that could bring about peace
Ooooohhhhhh....
