Lyrics Return from War - Jasta, Max Cavalera

Return from War

Caught in between
What will it be?
Tense and afraid
Make a choice to fight or flee
Was sent away
Ready to die
Made it home but I still feel like I’m on borrowed time
Can’t stand the pain
I sweat and freeze
Will I make it through
Or has my karma come for me?
No one returns from war
Just small escapes from time to time
No one returns from war
You can’t step forward when you’re standing on a landmine
Preoccupied
How’d I survive?
Control is self-deception once you hear the bullets fly
No more willpower
Devoid of choices
Resting is illusion
Every night I hear their voices
Pray for silence, pray for peace
Why, God, why?
Just answer me
Sent me far from home to die
With my hands I did their crimes
Forgive my crimes
They sent me there to die
They made me do their crimes
Now I’m the one who lives with the sound of their cries
The deafening silence
The vision of violence
I cannot deny this
No one returns from war
Just small escapes from time to time
No one returns from war
You can’t step forward when you’re standing on a landmine
Pray for silence, pray for peace
Why, God, why?
Oh, answer me
Pray for silence, pray for peace
Why, God, why?
Oh, answer me
