War Lyrics & Chords By Poets Of The Fall

Do you remember standing on a broken field, white crippled wings beating the sky,
The harbingers of war with their nature revealed and our chances flowing by?
If I can let the memory heal, I will remember you with me on that field.

When I thought that I'd fought this war alone, you were there by my side on the front line.
When I thought that I'd fought without a cause, you gave me a reason to try.

Turn the page: I need to see something new, for now my innocence is torn.
We cannot linger on this stunted view, like rabid dogs of war.
I will let the memory heal, I'll remember you with me on that field.

When I thought that I'd fought this war alone, you were there by my side, on the front line.
And we thought to believe the impossible.
When I thought that I fought this war alone, we were one with our destinies entwined.
When I thought that I fought without a cause, you gave me a reason why.

When no one's wearing their real face, it's a white-out of emotion,
And I've only got my brittle bones to break the fall.
When the loving letters fade, it's like moving in slow-motion,
And we're already too late if we arrive at all.
And then we're caught up in the arms race on involuntary addiction,
And we're shedding every value our mothers taught.
So will you please show me your real face,
Draw the line in the horizon,
'Cause I only need your name to call the reasons why I fought.

When I thought that I fought this war alone, you were there by my side, on the front line.
And we thought to believe the impossible.
When I thought that I fought this war alone, we were one with our destinies entwined.
When I thought that I fought without a cause, you gave me a reason why.
