After The War
Gary Moore
AFTER THE WAR As reorded by Gary Moore (From the 1989 Album AFTER THE WAR) [Intro] [Verse 1] So many came before you The prisoners of fate A history of bloodshed A legacy of hate But where will you be standing When the battles have been won? Inside your lonely fortress The battles just begun [Chorus] After the war Who will you be fighting for? After the war is o - ver After the fire Is burning to its dying embers After the war [Interlude] [Verse 2] A letter from the draft board Put pain to all your dreams You’re just another number In military schemes They marched you in a uniform You wore against your will With lies of hope and glory They taught you how to kill [Chorus] After the war Who will you be fighting for? After the war is o - ver After the fire Is burning to its dying embers [Bridge] After the war You thought you’d be a hero After all that you survived If hell was meant for heroes Then surely you’ve arrived [Interlude] [Guitar Solo] After the war After the war [Chorus] After the war Who will you be fighting for? After the war is o - ver After the fire Is burning to its dying embers [Outro] After the war
