Heaven Shall Burn Bring the War Home song lyrics


Heaven Shall Burn Bring the War Home song lyrics
I threw my useless life
Into their wars and riots
For the ideal
To serve the ones I love
Yes, all too soon
No recognition for
My pointless sacrifice
And far too late I saw
I left my home defenceless
This world's a slaughterhouse
And men like me are not the butchers
I brought justice to no one
But there was no doubt,
It always stands no reason
Protect the just,
Conquer the felons
Returned wounded and broken
But i never left
These barren fields
And now I understand
There is no war to end all wars,
Take it from me
Drowning your honest love in mindless violence
I bring the war home,
Still raging within me
And all too soon
These children lost their father
And far too late I saw,
That not for them i fought
The gods of profit
Led me into their battles
I never brought security to those
I wanted to protect
Feeding the machine
And staining this world
With blood instead
And only now I understand
There is no war to end all wars,
Take it from me
Drowning your honest love in mindless violence
I bring the war home,
Still raging within me
Still raging within me
Take it from me,
You'll carry the war home
I brought justice to no one
Now they spit me in the face
I did not recognize the real offenders
And now I understand
There is no war to end all wars,
Take it from me
Drowning your honest love in mindless violence
I bring the war home,
Still raging within me
We brought affliction to the masses
And splendour to a few
We are aggressors, not defenders
