October 31 - For There Is War! lyrics

War! Inside his mind it's '69 Somewhere in Vietnam Yes, in his head there's millions dead From guns, grenades, and bombs For he's the one that feels the thunder A prisoner of the times Just trapped alone in a mental shock And wanting just to die As evil unfolds before the eyes The horror of k**ing another man One nation under God For all around him there is pain So is the wage of sin The memories on the battlefield Are buried deep within For now the future's only past And broken is this man Eternally his life was lost While fighting for his land As evil unfolds before the eyes The horror of k**ing another man One nation under God War! Forever there is war! For there is war! He can thank the USA For the way he feels today For there is war! There is war! I see them all around me They're all living just to die Just trying to make their way And moving on But nothing stops the torment Of those days in Vietnam As the battle in their minds Is raging on Shellshocked mindless madmen For deep inside there is war! They had the strength of courage And they had the will to fight But in the end they learned Just how to die And as they live the terror Of a time so long ago It's now too late To save their wasted lives And so again the music plays The battle hymn of war For there is war! And every night within the dark Those nightmares comes again For there is war! War! So here's the lesson to be learned Amongst this grief and pain And that's in life there's nothing Worth the hell of war again So leave the courage to the fire And vengeance will stay free And liberty will carry on For all eternity As evil unfolds before the eyes The horror of k**ing another man One nation under God War! Forever there is war! For there is war!
