War - Edwin Starr

Am I of God or Satan or an obsidian hemisphere? Am I the fated sovereign or sanctitude inverse? Consider the great solitude of the truly liberated man Set forth to raze frail humanity once again Am I to act alone? If so, I'll draw blood from stone Am I to act alone? If so, I'll be the thundering tremor to whip the storm Why are we such tender flesh under blackening skies? Are we defenceless prey in a predator's eye? Can we stay stalwart in the face of fated tragedy? Are we to remain subjugated by fictitious morality? Am I to act alone? If so, I'll separate the meat from bone Am I to act alone? If so, I shall be the herald of reckoning's swarm Host of the ones condemned Dethrone god malevolent Hear the cannons roar We are off to war Uncrowned he with reins adorned Blacken the icon We for whom no god shall mourn Off to war Am I of God or Satan or an obsidian hemisphere? Am I the fated sovereign or sanctitude inverse? Consider the great solitude of the truly liberated man Set forth to raze frail humanity once again

Here stands a man At the bottom of a hole he's made Still sweating from the rush His body tense His hands, they shake Oh this, this is a mad boy Here stands a man With a bullet in his clenched right hand Don't push him, son For he's got the power to crush this land Oh hear, hear him cry, boy Don't you ever leave me alone My war is over Be my shelter from the storm My war is over I am a sad boy Here stands a man At the bottom of a hole he's made Still sweating from the rush His body tense His hands, they shake Oh this, this is a mad boy Here stands a man With a bullet in his clenched right hand But don't push him, son For he's got the power to crush this land Oh hear, hear him cry, boy Don't you ever leave me alone My war is over Be my shelter from the storm My war is over I am a sad boy Don't you ever leave me alone Be my shelter from the storm My war is over I am a sad boy
