Krieg Kennt Keine Sieger (Saltatio Mortis cover) Lyrics

Hiding eyes behind a black veil
Crying helpless in the end
Crying for the brothers dying
For a lost and burned out land
Fatherless - forsaken
When they perish in the name of god
One last tear falls in the ground
Only death is still around to save you

War is just a fray of loss
Like an unheard prayer
For the dying warriors
Feigning songs of victory
In the eyes of mothers crying
I see warriors dying

Behind the murals of a temple
A priest incites full blind with rage
Holy poison in his doctrine
And his essence fuels the hate
Shaping armies of child soldiers
Preaching blinded - holy war
They're dying to come close to heaven
But from god so far apart

War is just a fray of loss
Like an unheard prayer
For the dying warriors
Feigning songs of victory
In the eyes of mothers crying
I see warriors dying

Who is this unknown soldier
Lying burning on the ground
Blood seeps in to desert sand
Still his god has not been found
On your way for finding eden
Your victims but your soul is bleeding
And try to break their will and different faith
Displace their children far from grace
A million wars with no decree
What do you see

War is just a fray of loss
Like an unheard requiem
For the dying warriors
War is just a fray of loss
Like an unheard prayer
For the dying warriors
Feigning songs of victory
In the eyes of soldiers dying
See their mothers crying
What is war?!
