War - Poets of the Fall
Tuning: C, E A D G B E
[Intro]
(x2)
[Verse 1]
Do you remembe
r standing on
a broken field
White crippled
wings beating
the sky
The harbingers
of war with t
heir nature re
vealed
And our chance
s flowing by
[Pre-Chorus]
If I can let t
he memory heal
I will remembe
r you with me
on that field
[Chorus]
When I thought
that I fought
this war alon
e
You were there
by my side on
the front lin
e
When I thought
that I fought
without a cau
se
You gave me a
reason to try
(x2)
[Verse 2]
Turn the page
I need to see
something new
For now my inn
ocence is torn
We cannot ling
er on this stu
nted view
Like rabid dog
s of war
[Pre-Chorus]
I will let the
memory heal
I'll remember
you with me on
that field
[Chorus]
When I thought
that I fought
this war alon
e
You were there
by my side on
the front lin
e
And we fought
to believe the
impossible
When I thought
that I fought
this war alon
e
We were one wi
th our destini
es entwined
When I thought
that I fought
without a cau
se
You gave me th
e reason why
[Bridge]
With no-one we
aring their re
al face
It's a whiteou
t of emotion
And I've only
got my brittle
bones to brea
k the fall
When the love
in letters fad
e
It's like movi
ng in slow mot
ion
And we're alre
ady too late i
f we arrive at
all
And then we're
caught up in
the arms race
An involuntary
addiction
And we're shed
ding every val
ue our mothers
taught
So will you pl
ease show me y
our real face
Draw the line
in the horizon
'Cause I only
need your name
to call the r
easons why I f
ought
[Chorus]
When I thought
that I fought
this war alon
e
You were there
by my side on
the front lin
e
And we fought
to believe the
impossible
When I thought
that I fought
this war alon
e
We were one wi
th our destini
es entwined
When I thought
that I fought
without a cau
se
You gave me th
e reason why
