The Aftermath |
| Silently to silence fall in the fields of futile war |
| Toys of death are spitting lead where boys that were our soldiers bled |
| War horse and war machine curse the name of liberty |
| Marching on as if they should mix in the dirt our brothers' blood |
| In the mud and rain, what are we fighting for |
| Is it worth the pain, it is worth dying for |
| Who will take the blame, why did they make a war |
| Questions that come again, should we be fighting at all |
| Once a ploughman hitched his team, here he sowed his little dream |
| Now bodies arms and legs are strewn, where mustard gas and barb wire bloom |
| Each moment’s like a year, I’ve nothing left inside for tears |
| Comrades dead or dying lie, I’m left alone asking why |
| In the mud and rain, what are we fighting for |
| Is it worth the pain, it is worth dying for |
| Who will take the blame, why did they make a war |
| Questions that come again, should we be fighting at all |
| After the war, left feeling no one has won |
| After the war, what does a soldier become |
| After the war, left feeling no one has won |
| After the war, what does a soldier become |
| What is at home when the battles are done |
| After the war and when no one has won |
| I’m just a soldier |
