Lyrics

[00:32.120] Dad, what did you do in the war?
[00:38.120] Something to answer for?
[00:41.120] You say too young I am to know
[00:47.120] Dad, I've heard you cry at night
[00:52.120] Mournful and desperate plight
[00:56.120] Where did you learn that song you sing
[01:31.120] "War is in me! I was the war!
[01:34.120] And your prying brings back the suffering
[01:38.120] No, please, don't start to cry
[01:45.120] I only pray you'll never know
[01:48.120] Things I see every time I close my eyes
[01:53.120] Angels still have faces"
[02:00.120] What did you do in the war, dad, tell me
[02:03.120] Why can't you smile when the children sing
[02:07.120] Did the wages of war cut your soaring wings
[02:15.120] And your soul is now torn, unlike mine
[02:22.120] Do you fear yesterday will in someway
[02:28.120] Define the life of your child?
[03:11.120] Dad, I know what you did in the war
[03:16.120] Deeds devils would abhor
[03:20.120] Did you fulfill the oath you swore?
[03:25.120] Dad, did you do it for me?
[03:31.120] Their blood for my life to live
[03:35.120] In the hollow without reprieve, without you
[03:40.120] "War is in me! I am the war!
[03:43.120] Don't you force me to live the nightmare again(!I'm sorry)
[03:48.120] Please, don't make me cry
[03:54.120] My son, you never ever want to know
[03:57.120] How when guarding your sleep serene I hear
[04:02.120] The silence of the children who sang"
[04:40.120] Far and beyond the stars there's
[04:44.120] A place where all the love,
[04:48.120] All the goodness we could have still resides
[04:53.120] But we choose life away from the light
[05:01.120] You can find ghosts of loss in the gaze of your
[05:06.120] Beautiful child
