The War Rages On

                         By

[CHORUS]

I see young children, in a world without war

Seeking only fun, they play without keeping score

So soon they will cry, as the war machine comes to stay

Such a dark time come, bringing only pain

[REFRAIN]

The War Rages On

Oh, The War Rages On

[VERSE]

Within their hearts, they know this war is without reason

Still they fight for all their worth, all in the name of freedom

Every man to someone, a friend, lover and son

Every one so much fodder, for the general's guns

Don't they know this madness, won't change what generations

Taught to hate, still regard as sane

Don't they know this war, can never be won

The dead no more return, than wrongs can be undone

[CHORUS]

I see young soldiers, marching off to war

Seeking hidden enemies, on such distant shores

So many die on both sides, many more are maimed

Such a high price paid, for so little gained

[REFRAIN]

The War Rages On

Oh, The War Rages On

[VERSE]

Every man marching, is a weapon of mass destruction

Each to another, taking part in this corruption

Days end, they won't care, who's side you're on

Fear rules them, hate guides them, as they fly the bombs

[CHORUS]

I see the darkness, of a world at war

I see the choices made, by so many before

So many dead now, never to live again

Such a waste of good lives, and still nothing is gained

[REFRAIN]

The War Rages On

Oh, The War Rages On

[VERSE - Outtro]

Oranges skies burning bright in the morning

Dayglo colors, screaming out a warning

Too late to turn away, the rockets have flown

The war is over, now the world melts away
