A marching troop, a killing battery
A crying refugee
Aggressive hate replaces harmony
This is your duty?!
You trust in some hope
but you can't start hopin'
before this is over
You trust in some help
but who will start helping
Are you fooling yourself?
An aching pain, a misty memory
Here comes the war again!
The passing time can give no amnesty,
you should believe me
You're looking for sense,
but this is just senseless
Your wounds are still bleeding
You're looking for friends,
but who is still living?
Veterans are ready to die
How you wish you could turn back time
start again, play your cards, free your mind
But you know that you reap what they sow in the past
pray, that it may not last!
Is it a dream or just reality?
Here comes my warning:
Don't lose your soul in selfish misery
or you can't stop moaning
Who's calling your name
in nights of deep sorrow?
When you are alone
Who lights up the flame
on your grave tomorrow?
You should better find your faith
How you wish you could turn back time
start again, play your cards, free your mind
But you know that you reap what they sow in the past
pray, that it may not last
How you wish you could turn back time
but you know that you reap what they sow in the past
