Lyrics Angel Of War - Yusuf Islam

Angel Of War

O Angel Of War!
What am I fighting for?
If death comes tomorrow inform me before, inform me before
O Young Soldier Boy!
Ill tell you what I know
If peace is your wish, to battle you must go, to battle you must go
O Angel Of War!
Please make it clear to me
Which is my side, and who is my enemy?
and who is my enemy?
O Young Soldier Boy!
The world is open wide
So look to wherever, the truth is forced to hide, the truth is forced to hide
O Angel Of War!
Within myself I see
Battle has started, what will become of me?
what will become of me?
O Young Soldier Boy!
You’re Wiser than you seem
Look into your heart, and keep your motives clean, and keep your motives clean
O Angel Of War!
What weapons do I need?
Lest I may perish, that I may succeed, that I may succeed
O Young Soldier Boy!
If you protect the poor
Let truth be your armour, and justice be your sword, and justice be your sword
O Angel Of War!
What makes me want to fight?
I sometimes feel hatred, is it wrong or right?
is it wrong or right?
O Young Soldier Boy!
The war you wage
If it’s for your ego, it will die in rage, it will die in rage
O Angel Of War!
How can I tell for sure
Pride’s not its reason that I’m fighting for, that I’m fighting for
O Young Soldier Boy!
That’s something I can’t tell
God knows you reason and you should know as well, and you should know as well
O Angel Of War!
When I look at me
I’m fearful to confess, the enemy I see, the enemy I see
O Young Soldier Boy!
Now you can go your war
I’ll see you tomorrow, a boy you’ll be no more, a boy you’ll be no more
