Child I know you're crying Tracing scars with bitter hands Running from your demons Sinking fast in the quicksand Pointing a finger at the sky you take the blame Darling don't you know that life is just an unfair game Welcome to the war Welcome to the war Welcome to the war Welcome to the war Child I know you're weary Waiting on a brighter day Locked up in your tower playing the perfect cast away How can you be angry with a world that's gone to hell When you've built yourself a castle, When you've kissed it's cries farewell Welcome to the war Welcome to the war Welcome to the war Welcome to the war It's bitter It's lonely It will bring you sorrow only But what choice do you have You can run or you can stand It's bitter It's lonely It will bring you sorrow only But what choice do you have You can run or you can stand Welcome to the war Welcome to the war Welcome to the war Welcome to the war Welcome to the war Welcome to the war Child pick up your sword Welcome to the war Welcome to the war
