lyrics

Words:

Well I guess it's no surprise
You wouldn't be with us
For so long
With diamonds in your eyes
Your ears so full of all of your songs

Thinking some great morning
You'd be moaning for your time alone
When the fight was won

But I don't know why
With diamonds in your eyes
You thought that you could
Still see straight. Now
It's too late to recognize
You recognize that it's too late now

Mercenaries with contracts will bury
Every trace of you
You died on the road
Left with your "Heart & Soul"
But came back alone to your little home

But since you went off to war
It's just like it was before
Your life of sin
You're still praying for
But you'll be sorry
You'll wish you had never been born

In a bunker underground
You sing a lonely revolution
But no one hears a sound
Or thanks you for your contribution

I don't want to tell you how to
Run your little war
But some grey morning
You'll be mourning
For your time alone
Now nothing's won

But since you went off to war
It's just like it was before
Your life of sin
You're still praying for
But you'll be sorry
You'll wish you had never been born
