GLORY OF WAR

 

DAMN THIS CREATION

THE ABOMINATION OF OUR NATIONS

WHETHER YOU OFFEND OR DEFEND

THROW UP YOUR HANDS, FIGHT LIKE CIVILIZED MEN

 

BECAUSE YOU'D BE OUT OF YOUR MIND TO LEAVE IT BEHIND

BUT SUCH IS THE GLORY OF WAR

SO RAISE UP YOUR FLAG AND FIGHT FOR YOUR LAND

IF YOU BELIEVE IN THE GLORY OF WAR

 

DAMN THIS ILLUSION

THERE IS NO USE FOR THIS CONFUSION

WHETHER YOU CREATE OR DEBATE

A PART OF LOVE IS NEEDING TO HATE

 

AND THE YOUNG MEN WILL BE THERE FIGHTING FOR WHAT IS FAIR

AND THEIR BELIEF IN THE GLORY OF WAR

HONEST MEN BECOME THEIVES, KILL AND DIE FOR BELIEFS

BUT SUCH IS THE GLORY OF WAR

 

 

THEY ALL FALL ON THE FRONT LINES, CIVILIANS CRY

BUT SUCH IS THE GLORY OF WAR

HONEST MEN BECOME THEIVES, KILL AND DIE FOR BELIEFS

BUT SUCH IS THE GLORY OF WAR

SO RAISE UP YOUR FLAG AND FIGHT FOR YOUR LAND

IF YOU BELIEVE IN THE GLORY OF WAR

I WON'T LIE TO MYSELF, PUT MY GUNS ON A SHELF

BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE IN YOUR WAR
