Lyrics[edit | edit source]

Mothers crying, young men dying. In the killing fields.

Machines of war light up the sky, the truth is not revealed


Shattered dreams of yesterday forgotten in the war

Unto battle march our sons returning nevermore


They suffer and bleed for money and greed

Unto death

Husbands and fathers and brothers and sons

Will not forgot


Wounded soldier bleeding badly, a victim of the blast

Send them in home in body bags, how long must this last?


They suffer and bleed for money and greed

Unto death

Husbands and fathers and brothers and sons

Will not forgot
