Heaven Shall Burn

Heaven Shall Burn - Bring The War Home lyrics

Your rating:

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 to 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



All too soon

These children lost their fathers

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
