| You can see it in the faces of people everywhere
|
| Fear, desperation and pain
|
| The curse of ancient enemies
|
| passed from father to son
|
| With the blood of hatred runnin' through their veins
|
| Look into the eyes of shattered souls,
|
| lives destroyed by war
|
| Images are burned into your brain
|
| Oh the peace that we crave and the question we raise
|
| The answers will stay hidden by the winds of war
|
| Give praise to the father
|
| Singin' «Hail to the Chief»
|
| Young warriors marching to meet their destiny
|
| You know that some will die
|
| but who will cry for the children
|
| Over land and water
|
| Hell rains down from the sky
|
| Brave sons and daughters
|
| but fate decides who’ll live or die
|
| We try to justify,
|
| but who will cry for the children, yeah
|
| Raise you head to the heavens and you pray
|
| Make the images of war go away
|
| Oh the solace we need
|
| for the hearts that still bleed
|
| Is hidden in the winds of war
|
| If the answer is there for peace everywhere
|
| It’s hidden in the winds of war
|
| The winds of war
|
| Hidden by the winds of war
|
| The winds of war
|
| In the name of God above look what we’ve done
|
| In our lust for enemy blood,
|
| we’ve blown it all to kingdom come
|
| A holy sacrifice,
|
| but no one cries for the children
|
| (chorus)
|
| Winds of war (repeat) |
