|
Tears in his eyes |
|
The fear, oh it never dies |
|
The echoes of the past |
|
Are rolling on and on |
|
For those who were left back |
|
Tomorrow never comes |
|
Oh, it never comes |
|
And after all these years |
|
Something still remains |
|
The forever repercussions |
|
The eternal pain |
|
Another sleepless night |
|
And another break of day |
|
It doesn't matter anymore |
|
His life will fade away |
|
In yellow rain |
|
They crossed the water |
|
Back in '69 |
|
They fought for glory |
|
Behind the enemy lines |
|
Fighting for the nations |
|
Pushed into the war |
|
Without not even knowing why |
|
Or what they're fighting for |
|
Oh, oh Out on the plains |
|
Some are the masters |
|
Some are the slaves |
|
Oh, oh War is a never-ending mission |
|
You're just a pawn in a game |
|
Where the number is your name |
|
Left home as heroes |
|
Fools when they returned |
|
Blamed for all the damage |
|
And the villages they burned |
|
Betrayed by their leaders |
|
Murderers they were called |
|
Denounced as crazy maniacs |
|
And locked behind the walls |
|
Oh, oh Out on the plains |
|
Some are the masters |
|
Some are the slaves |
|
Oh, oh War is a never-ending mission |
|
They are the victims |
|
Doomed to die |
|
In yellow rain |
|
We've seen them dying in the fields |
|
In yellow rain |
|
Just like a knight |
|
Who's in a fight, without a shield |
|
Oh no Try to forget, but it just won't go |
|
Oh no Forever in their memories |
|
Oh no Hell's just some thousand miles away |
|
Oh no no Oh, oh |
|
Out on the plains |
|
Some are the masters |
|
Some are the slaves |
|
Oh, oh War is a never-ending mission |
|
They are the victims |
|
Doomed to die [Chorus] |
