Fortune of war

After the war
And now that they´ve sent us homeward
I can´t help but feel that I´m on my own
No one can see
Just what this conflict has done to
The minds of the men
Who are on their way home
I´m scarred for life but
It´s not my flesh that´s wounded
So how can I face the torment alone
The vivid scenes
And all the recurring nightmares
I lay there and sweat until it gets light...
People say don´t worry
Say that time´s a perfect healer
That the nightmares they will come to pass
Can´t hear what they´re saying
I am living in my own world
And I´m feeling trance-like all the time
I hear voices in my head
Could I really be going crazy
In the night the visions seem so real
Do you care if you live or die
When you laugh are you really crying
You´re not sure what´s real anymore
Fortunes of War
Fortunes of War
Fortunes of War no pain anymore
Fortunes of War
Fortunes of War
Fortunes of War no pain anymore
Fortunes of War
Sometimes I wake
I feel that my spirit´s broken
I wonder if I´ve strength... carry on
Carry on.
And now that they´ve sent us homeward
I can´t help but feel that I´m on my own
No one can see
Just what this conflict has done to
The minds of the men
Who are on their way home
I´m scarred for life but
It´s not my flesh that´s wounded
So how can I face the torment alone
The vivid scenes
And all the recurring nightmares
I lay there and sweat until it gets light...
People say don´t worry
Say that time´s a perfect healer
That the nightmares they will come to pass
Can´t hear what they´re saying
I am living in my own world
And I´m feeling trance-like all the time
I hear voices in my head
Could I really be going crazy
In the night the visions seem so real
Do you care if you live or die
When you laugh are you really crying
You´re not sure what´s real anymore
Fortunes of War
Fortunes of War
Fortunes of War no pain anymore
Fortunes of War
Fortunes of War
Fortunes of War no pain anymore
Fortunes of War
Sometimes I wake
I feel that my spirit´s broken
I wonder if I´ve strength... carry on
Carry on.
