War In The Mind

I'm far from the mud of battle But I still have the smell of blood I still feel the hot blood on my face Nightmares still haunt me I am the royal knight I fought for a nation I fought for a name I fought for nothing I see the fire on the horizon I feel the mud of battle The blood on my skin The cold breeze of the storm Like a light in the sky That makes men burn That consumes their insides That exterminates life War teaches you that it's stupid to fight That there's no reason to kill That there's no time after There's no tomorrow after war Those who rule think they know They think they can do And those who do their will We know the reality I see the fire on the horizon I feel the mud of battle The blood on my skin The cold breeze of the storm Like a light in the sky That makes men burn That consumes their interior That exterminates life There is no heroic war There is no war with honor There is no war with a happy ending There is no war that can be avoided Maybe it is better to extinguish ourselves With the weapons we create to protect ourselves Like a poetic act of God Like a verse of destruction I see the fire on the horizon I feel the mud of battle The blood on my skin The cold breeze of the storm Like a light in the sky That makes men burn That consumes their interior That exterminates life That exterminates life There is no heroic war There is no war with honor There is no war with a happy ending There is no war that can be avoided
