Holy War

When I look back on what I did I sold my soul for the highest bid I gave my heart to a higher law I played my part in a Holy War Once a child looked through these eyes And saw the world in all of its beauty What kind of man controls these hands What kind of god What kind of destiny I took my stand on sacred ground But all the time I was chained and bound I believed that I was free The Holy War did all that to me Once a mother raised her son With tenderness and pride she watched him grow I wonder where the love has gone I wonder if she’ll ever really know When I look back on what I’ve done It’s down the barrel of a loaded gun Whatever I was fighting for There’s no such thing as a Holy War I don’t believe it anymore I’ll never fight another Holy War
