What Did You Do In The War, Dad? Lyrics - Pariah's Child - Sonata Arctica

Dad, what did you do in the war? 

Something to answer for? 

You say too young I am to young 

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 everytime 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 someway 

define the life of your child? 

Dad, I know what you did in the war 

Deeds devils would abhor 

Did you filfil 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 my 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
