What Did You Do In The War, Dad? - Sonata Arctica
Dad what did you do in the war
Something to answer for
You say too young I am to know
Dad I've heard you cry at night
Mournful and desperate blight
Where did you learn
that song you sing

War is in me I was the war
And your praying brings
back the suffering
No please don't start to cry
I only pray you'll never know
The things I see every time
I close my eyes
Angels still have faces
What did you do
in the war dad tell me
Why can't you smile
when the children sing
Did the wages of war
cut your soaring wings
And your soul is now torn unlike mine
Do you fear yesterday
will in someway
Define the life of your child

Dad I know what you did in the war
Deeds devils would abhor
Did you fulfill the oath you swore
Dad did you do it for me
Their blood for my life to live
In the hollow without reprieve
without you
War is in me I am the war
Don't you force me to live
the nightmare again
I'm sorry
Please don't make my cry
My son you never ever want to know
How when guarding
your sleep serene I hear
The silence of
the children who sang

Far and beyond the stars there's
A place where all the love
All the goodness
we could have still resides
But we choose life
away from the light
You can find ghosts of loss
in the gaze of your
Beautiful child
