Poets of the Fall - War 

Lyrics by dusto 

Do you remember standing on a broken field 

White crippled wings beating the sky 

The harbingers of war with their nature revealed 

And our chances flowing by 

If I can let the memory heal 

I will remember you with me on that field 

When I thought that I fought this war alone 

You were there by my side on the frontline 

When I thought that I fought without a cause 

You gave me a reason to try 

Turn the page I need to see something new 

For now my innocence is torn 

We cannot linger on this stunted view 

Like rabid dogs of war 

I will let the memory heal 

I will remember you with me on that field 

When I thought that I fought this war alone 

You were there by my side on the frontline 

And we fought to believe the impossible 

When I thought that I fought this war alone 

We were one with our destinies entwined 

When I thought that I fought without a cause 

You gave me the reason why 

With no-one wearing their real face 

It's a whiteout of emotion 

And I've only got my brittle bones to break the fall 

When the love in letters fade 

It's like moving in slow motion 

And we're already too late if we arrive at all 

And then we're caught up in the arms race 

An involuntary addiction 

And we're shedding every value our mothers taught 

So will you please show me your real face 

Draw the line in the horizon 

Cos I only need your name to call the reasons why I fought 

When I thou 

You were there by my side on the frontline 

And we fought to believe the impossible 

When I thought that I fought this war alone 

We were one with our destinies entwined 

When I thought that I fought without a cause 

You gave me the reason why
