War - Dougie MacLean
Written by:Douglas Menzies MacLean
Our voice made silent
Our hands made still
While deep and violent
Wait the ones who wait to kill
And the desert's burning
Their reasons pale
For there's no returning
With some golden holy grail
What have they done
What have they done
The blood will run
To everyone
Ooh what have they done
And is it for freedom
Is it for truth
That fathers fall and
All those young men trade their youth
Or are they moved by
Deception's hand
That rank and reckless
Scatters death
Across the sand
What have they done
What have they done
The blood will run
To everyone
Ooh what have they done
Is it for freedom
Is it for truth
That fathers fall and
All those young men trade their youth
And the desert's burning
Their faces pale
For there's no returning
With some golden holy grail
What have they done
What have they done
The blood will run
To everyone
Ooh what have they done
What have they done
What have they done
The blood will run
To everyone
Ooh what have they done
