Lyrics


War is hell in all its glory
Hate and fear get mixed with pride
Your don?t know the way I lie in bed and pray
That soon you?ll be back by my side

War is hell in all its glory
There?s no pride in being maimed
Kill some men today and then just run away
Your enemies are never named

War is hell in all its glory
Let me wipe away your pain
Leave the war behind, come back to humankind
Choose love and family one more time

War is hell in all its glory
Come back and do your fighting here
We?ve got some kids to raise, to teach in other ways
To shelter and protect from fear

You don?t know how much I love you
You don?t know how much I care
I am strong and true in all my love for you
But I can?t touch you over there
