Fields of Despair

(Instrumental) (Verse 1) Trigger fingers itching, flags a-waving high Politicians preaching, with a tear in their eye Borders drawn with anger, lines etched deep in sand But the ones who die for this, don't even understand (Chorus) War, a hungry beast, it feeds on fear and lies Sends our children to their deaths, beneath empty skies What glory can be found, in fields of blood and bone? Let's lay down these weapons, before we're all alone (Verse 2) Mothers weeping, children lost, with eyes full of fright Cities crumble, dreams turn black, in the endless night The land mourns the fallen, with a heavy, broken heart Is this the legacy we leave, the world we tear apart? (Chorus) War, a hungry beast, it feeds on fear and lies Sends our children to their deaths, beneath empty skies What glory can be found, in fields of blood and bone? Let's lay down these weapons, before we're all alone (Bridge) There's gotta be another way, to settle our disputes With words that build bridges, instead of cannons that shoot Let's find the common ground, the humanity we share Before this madness swallows us, and leaves nothing but despair (Instrumental Guitar Solo and Drum) (Chorus) War, a hungry beast, it feeds on fear and lies Sends our children to their deaths, beneath empty skies What glory can be found, in fields of blood and bone? Let's lay down these weapons, before we're all alone (Repeat) War, a hungry beast, it feeds on fear and lies Sends our children to their deaths, beneath empty skies What glory can be found, in fields of blood and bone? Let's lay down these weapons, before we're all alone (Outro) We are the ones with the power, to break this endless chain Let peace rise like the morning sun, and wash away the stain For a future filled with laughter, where children learn to play Let's end this war forever, for a brighter, better day before we're all alone (Outro) We are the ones with the power, to break this endless chain Let peace rise like the morning sun, and wash away the stain For a future filled with laughter, where children learn to play Let's end this war forever, for a brighter, better day
