The Sounds of War

We're sitting scared at home tonight And every mind is paralyzed Is it machine guns? Where is my child? She's not come back from shopping I'll have to go and check outside So dark, the power's been cut off Don't ask for food, there ain't enough Who are the people In uniform? They don't look like our soldiers And I don't like them fully armed Ready to fight with foes at the war zone Ready to die for freeing this land No time for sorrow, we'll win tomorrow Just to bring justice back in the end We must survive as sons of the nation Cos we are strong and we're still alive Sacrifice and dedication When all we hear is the sounds of war War! The sounds of war! Oh, war! The sounds of war! No more! More bullets whizzing through the air Who'll die now in this fusillade? Let's save that young girl! She's over there! You're gonna cover my back And I'm about to run to her Ready to fight with foes at the war zone Ready to die for freeing this land No time for sorrow, we'll win tomorrow Just to bring justice back in the end We must survive as sons of the nation Cos we are strong and we're still alive Sacrifice and dedication When all we hear is the sounds of war War! The sounds of war! Oh, war! The sounds of war! No more! And then The drums of war fade down And then There is no battle any more Birds sing again And children's laughter can be heard It's been one bad dream Could you wake up, please? Smell the spring War! The sounds of war! Oh, war! The sounds of war! No more!
