Warchild Lyrics & Chords By Shagadelic Groove

He's trying to get rid of these ghosts in his head.
He's getting nervous, smoking a cigarette.
But each day the ghosts are getting stronger;
The day will come when he won’t be able to control them any longer!


At the age of ten,
When the other children played;
He joined the army
Went to the battlefield!


At the age of ten,
He learned how to kill a man.
He stood straight in line,
For being a child there was no time.


He never saw his parents again
In spite of his childhood, he became a man.
In his little hands, he carried a weapon.
Ready to use it - no matter what would happen.


He saw blood, corpses and brutality
He wished to, but he could not flee.
His master told him: YOU HAVE TO OBEY!
His mind was controlled in every single way.


He's trying to get rid of these ghosts in his head.
He's getting nervous, smoking a cigarette.
But each day the ghosts are getting stronger;
The day will come when he won’t be able to control them any longer!


Finally there was the end of the war,
But he can never forget what he saw.
He is free now, but the price was high.
Everyday he wakes up with a cry.


The pictures of war are burned into his mind.
He feels like the murderer of the whole mankind.
He’s struggling with his memories,
It captured him like a fatal disease.


Will the ghosts ever leave his head?
Or will they be his fellows until he's dead?
How many children will have to suffer from the same fate?
Is there still hope?
Or is it too late?
