Perfect War
FGFC820 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A trail of tears upon your face
Your armor cold, your time run out
To make believe, to ease your doubt
Were you strong inside yourself,
Or did you cry for someone else?
Set free your fear, it's a perfect day
When the bells start ringing
And you've reached the end
What did you stand for?
What would you die for?
Will you die for the perfect war?
The angels singing
In the skies again
What did you live for?
What would you die for?
Will you die in the perfect war?
So live your life, you've only one
Your thoughts and deeds can't be undone
Set free your fear, it's a perfect day
The sun has come to wash your pain away

@Vaderhead
Playing football till
Your legs are raw
Did you ever score
On average Germans are easy draw
But they pay a billion
Pay a billion
Per each day per each day
Takes the piss away
When your cheese grating in the worlds worst debt
What did you expect War?
What put him in charge for?
Angels getting bummed up the ass again
What makes you hard gore?
What did you live for?

Love this band. I wish more people would listen to them.
@truebluntslider8884
Друг, их слушают даже в России! В настоящий момент мне кажется это самое актуальное, учитывая мобилизацию в нашей стране. Нас принуждают убивать кровных братьев.

There are 2 things in life I hate: 1) When I take a shit and the water splashes up on my ass. 2) When this song ends.
