05 Welcome To War

 

The first time we met I was walking around
Losing my grip, about to break down
I could not look away, she held her gaze as well
I would never have thought there could be beauty in hell

 

The most beautiful face that I'd ever seen
With the eyes of an angel, so bright and so green

 

There she was - Welcome to war
Covered in blood - Welcome to war
In the mud and the rain - Welcome to war
Easing their pain - Welcome to war

 

The second time we met I lay waiting in line
Too close to my friend when he stepped on a mine
She tended my wounds, gave me a smile
Made me forget where I was for a while

 

The most beautiful face that I'd ever seen
With the eyes of an angel, so bright and so green

 

There she was - Welcome to war
Covered in blood - Welcome to war
In the mud and the rain - Welcome to war
Easing my pain - Welcome to war

 

But fate gave me no chance, happiness won't come to be
What the hell must I have done 
To deserve what is done to me

What was numb is numb again

The softened heart turned back to stone
To shield from reality, for in life I am all alone

 

The third time we met, our camp had been bombed
When I asked her name, she could barely respond
I cleared the debris, laid down in the dirt
We were never to be, she was mortally hurt

 

The most beautiful face that I'd hoped would be mine
I looked into her eyes for the very last time

 

There she was - Welcome to war
Covered in blood - Welcome to war
In the mud and the rain - Welcome to war
No longer in pain - Welcome to war
