Song Lyrics

After the war
And now that they`ve sent us homeward
I can`t help but feel that I`m on my own
No one can see just what this conflict has done to
The minds of the men who are on their way home

I`m scarred for life
but it`s not my flesh that`s wounded
So how can I face the torment alone
The vivid scenes and all the recurring nightmares
I lay there and sweat until it gets light

People say `don`t worry`
Say that time`s a perfect healer
That the nightmares they will come to pass
Can`t hear what they`re saying
I am living in my own world
And I`m feeling trance-like all the time

I hear voices in my head
Could I really be going crazy
In the night the visions seem so real
Do you care if you live or die
When you laugh are you really crying
You`re not sure what`s real anymore

Fortunes of war
Fortunes of war
Fortunes of war
no pain anymore

Sometimes I wake
I feel that my spirit`s broken
I wonder if I`ve the strength...
carry on carry on
