I Live on a Battlefield |
| I live on a battlefield |
| Surrounded by the ruins of a love we built |
| And then destroyed between us, the smoke has cleared |
| As I stumble through the rubble |
| I’m dazed and seein' double |
| And I’m truly mystified |
| My new home |
| Is a shell-hole filled with tears and muddy water |
| And bits of broken heart |
| All around |
| There is desolation |
| And scenes of devastation |
| Of a love being torn apart |
| I live on a battlefield |
| I live on a battlefield |
| I live on a battlefield |
| The one where not one single drop of |
| Blood has spilled |
| Is no less horrifying |
| Sweet memmories |
| Of a bygone situation |
| Now shattered |
| Lord and battered |
| Lies scattered all around |
| My new home |
| Is a shell-hole filled |
| With tears and muddy water |
| Yes, and bits of broken heart |
| All around |
| There is desolation |
| And scenes of devastation |
| Of a love being torn apart |
| I live on a battlefield |
| I live on a battlefield |
| I live on a battlefield |
| Everything that can and has gone wrong |
| (I live on a battlefield) |
| It’s gonna take spine to carry on |
| (I live on a battlefield) |
| Like a drownin' man comin' up for air |
| (I live on a battlefield) |
| I’m looking for another survivor |
| But I can’t see one anywhere |
| My new home |
| (My home is filled with muddy water) |
| All around |
| (All around, there’s bit of broken heart) |
| My world |
| (My world) |
| Is one of desolation |
| And scenes of devastation |
| There is no consolation |
| For a love been torn apart |
| I live on a battlefield |
| I live on a battlefield, battlefield |
| I live on a battlefield |
| (My home is filled with muddy water) |
| I live on a battlefield, battlefield |
| I live on a battlefield |
| (All around, there’s bits of broken heart) |
| I live on a battlefield, battlefield |
| I live on a battlefield, battlefield |
