Lyrics
Looking up at the thunder I had created
I thought about my life and how I would trade it
You see, I can stand giving orders for hours and hours
But a man so weak shouldn’t have such powers
They can send me to jungles, they send me to deserts
And I miss you so much, that baby, my heart hurts
But I’ve made my decisions, I’ve made my choices
And all that is left is to silence these voices
I’m a man of war
Don’t know what I’m fighting for
And I’m deader than the men that I kill
Send me off to lands
With my brothers I will band
But in the end all I want is my life before
I was a man of war
When I lie in the darkness I see your face
And in my pocket is a picture, baby, just in case
I wonder how your life goes on without me
But the more that I stare, the less I see
I’m a man of war
Don’t know what I’m fighting for
And I’m deader than the men that I kill
Send me off to worlds
Get my comfort from the local girls
But in the end all I want is my life before
I was a man of war
As the choppers take off from the hell I’ve created
My mind is racing asking why I’m here, maybe ‘cause fate is
Sun is setting over foreign lands, my home
I’ll do my job, do it well, and then I’m gone
I’m a man of war
Don’t know what I’m fighting for
And I’m deader than the men that I kill
Send me off to worlds
Get my comfort from the local girls
But in the end all I want is my life before
I was a man of war
