Lyrics War Of Words

War Of Words

From The Killing Fields

dear mom and dear old man they say the time has come for war

isn't this what we all wanted a chance to get them back

well i've been searching but i don't recall what for

cause out here and so far away there just aren't any answers

anymore

can you get me out of this place

away from this world away from these killing fields

little brother i'm leaving for a while

that makes you the man of this house until i return

cause dad's body still lays with the war from years before

and your mother needs you now more than ever

can you get me out of this place

away from this world away from these killing fields

little one my first and only child

these are my last words i don't get to see you grow up

so i leave behind the only thing i know

can protect you from the world and the evil that's out there

gave love and life for my country

and she loves me but not today

to the world i leave nothing behind

cause this cold steel in my arms is the only thing i have

and i've been waiting but i don't remember why

cause out here and so far away there just aren't any answers

can you get me out of this place

away from this world away from these killing fields
