Sonata Arctica - What Did You Do In The War, Dad?

Kishore Kumar Hits — Sonata Arctica - What Did You Do In The War, Dad? lyrics

Artist: Sonata Arctica

album: Pariah's Child

Dad, what did you do in the war?
Something to answer for?
You say too young I am to know
Dad, I've heard you cry at night
Mournful and desperate blight
Where did you learn that song you sing?
♪
"War is in me! I was the war!"
"And your praying brings back the suffering"
"No, please, don't start to cry"
"I only pray you'll never know"
"The things I see every time I close my eyes"
"Angels still have faces"
What did you do in the war, dad? Tell me
Why can't you smile when the children sing?
Did the wages of war cut your soaring wings?
And your soul is now torn, unlike mine
Do you fear yesterday will in some way
Define the life of your child?
♪
Dad, I know what you did in the war
Deeds devils would abhor
Did you fulfill the oath you swore?
Dad, did you do it for me?
Their blood for my life to live
In the hollow without reprieve, without you
"War is in me! I am the war!"
"Don't you force me to live the nightmare again!"
(I'm sorry...)
"Please don't make me cry"
"My son, you never ever want to know"
"How when guarding your sleep serene I hear"
"The silence of the children who sang"
♪
Far and beyond the stars there's
A place where all the love
All the goodness we could have still resides
But we choose life away from the light
You can find ghosts of loss in the gaze of your beautiful child
