The War Is Over
(Available IN PRINT HERE!)

"The war is over" Someone said
Not for the living, but maybe the dead

"The war is over" Some people said
Maybe for you, but not in my head

The war is over, and some say we lost
But it's still as pure as the first Winter's frost

The war is over for those underground
But in my head, the thunder still pounds

The war is over, it's in the past
All of my life it has seemed to last

The war is over for those who didn't go
The war can make you die very slow

The war is over, a truce was signed
It still makes me sad even in sunshine

The war is over and what was the cost?
Not in money, but the lives which were lost

The war is over, but it's not dead
To have seen so much death, the memories I still dread

The war is over, Would you do it again?
For the love of my country, just say when
