Sonata Arctica – What Did You Do in the War, Dad?
Audio Published on May 19, 2018
Lyrics
Dad, what did you do in the war?
Something to answer for?
You say too young I am to know
Dad, I've heard you cry at night
Mournful and desperate blight
Where did you learn that song you sing
"War is in me! I was the war!
And your praying brings back the suffering
No, please, don't start to cry
I only pray you'll never know
The things I see every time I close my eyes
Angels still have faces"
What did you do in the war, dad, tell me
Why can't you smile when the children sing
Di ... See More

No, please, don't start to cry
I only pray you'll never know
The things I see every time I close my eyes
Angels still have faces"
What did you do in the war, dad, tell me
