Faces Of War

Royal Hunt


Runaway's free, enemy's found 
I'm on the plane but my heart's on the ground 
frozen by fear, covered in snow 
pounding away in dispair and somehow I know 
we'll never make it back - where do we go? 

On top of the world I'm a king of the hill 
I'm riding the wind and horses of steel 
I'm one of a kind, just open your door 
to one of the faces of war 
Let me inside I'm just one of the faces of war 

Senses are dead, reason is gone 
Why do I shoot, tell me, what have they done? 
Innocent kid covered in blood 
Shreaded to pieces and left in the mud 
Now I know - we'll never make it back. Where do we go? 

End of the road, back to the wall 
I'm kicking the dust on the spot where I'll fall 
Final command - crime in disguise 
Second of pain and I'm closing my eyes - now you know 
We're never coming back - it's time to go
