The pain of war

(Edward McBride)

This song tries to describe the pain, sorrow, heartache, nightmares etc for anyone who is deployed by their country to fight a war against terrorists. The soldier vacillates between suicide and wanting to find a wife. It is very difficult circumstances

I fought for my country
Now that I am home
Nightmares every night
Pills and Doctors
to try and help me forget

I was part of Special Forces
the tours, the fears
The patrols from
our safe compound
We might not
return at all
The snipers, traps, the IED's
The constant tension
The taking out
of terrorist leaders

Chorus
Explosions from the IED's
Explosions in my head
My friends all
gone forever
It's really not
our war

They hate the West
Their ideals and
their anger
The Prophet asked
for tolerance
They gave it all away
Why can't the world
just be as one
to live and
let all others
Live in Peace
It's not that
hard to imagine

I cannot sleep
I often weep
I miss my friends
Why them?
The med's the Fed's
the special Doctors too
I want it 
all to end

I met a Doc
she understands
She was in the war zone
I'm trying hard
to deal with life
and maybe find a wife

Chorus
Explosions from the IED's
Explosions in my head
My friends all
gone forever
It's really not
our war
