Tears in his eyes
|
The fear, oh it never dies
|
The echoes of the past
|
Are rolling on and on
|
For those who were left back
|
Tomorrow never comes
|
Oh, it never comes
|
|
And after all these years
|
Something still remains
|
The forever repercussions
|
The eternal pain
|
Another sleepless night
|
And another break of day
|
It doesn't matter anymore
|
His life will fade away
|
In yellow rain
|
|
They crossed the water
|
Back in '69
|
They fought for glory
|
Behind the enemy lines
|
Fighting for the nations
|
Pushed into the war
|
Without not even knowing why
|
Or what they're fighting for
|
|
Oh, oh
|
Out on the plains
|
Some are the masters
|
Some are the slaves
|
Oh, oh
|
War is a never-ending mission
|
You're just a pawn in a game
|
Where the number is your name
|
|
Left home as heroes
|
Fools when they returned
|
Blamed for all the damage
|
And the villages they burned
|
Betrayed by their leaders
|
Murderers they were called
|
Denounced as crazy maniacs
|
And locked behind the walls
|
|
Oh, oh
|
Out on the plains
|
Some are the masters
|
Some are the slaves
|
Oh, oh
|
War is a never-ending mission
|
They are the victims
|
Doomed to die
|
|
In yellow rain
|
We've seen them dying in the fields
|
In yellow rain
|
Just like a knight
|
Who's in a fight, without a shield
|
|
Oh no
|
Try to forget, but it just won't go
|
Oh no
|
Forever in their memories
|
Oh no
|
Hell's just some thousand miles away
|
Oh no no
|
|
Oh, oh
|
Out on the plains
|
Some are the masters
|
Some are the slaves
|
Oh, oh
|
War is a never-ending mission
|
They are the victims
|
Doomed to die
|
|
[Chorus]
|
