Fortunes of War |
| After the war and now that they’ve sent us homeward |
| I can’t help but feel that I’m on my own |
| No one can see just what this conflict has done to The minds of the men who are on their way home |
| I’m scarred for life but it’s not my flesh that’s wounded |
| So how can I face the torment alone |
| The vivid scenes and all the recurring nightmares |
| I lay there and sweat until it gets light |
| People say don’t worry, say that time’s a perfect healer |
| That the nightmares they will come to pass |
| Can’t hear what they’re saying, I am living in my own world |
| And I’m feeling trance-like all the time |
| I hear voices in my head, could I really be going crazy |
| In the night the visions seem so real |
| Do you care if you live or die, when you laugh are you really crying |
| You’re not sure what’s real anymore |
| Fortunes of war, fortunes of war |
| Fortunes of war, no pain anymore |
| Fortunes of war, fortunes of war |
| Fortunes of war, no pain anymore |
| Fortunes of war |
| (5:01-Solo: Janick Gers) |
| (5:23-Solo: Dave Murray) |
| Fortunes of war, fortunes of war |
| Fortunes of war, no pain anymore |
| Fortunes of war |
| Fortunes of war, fortunes of war |
