Some things were perfectly clear, seen with the vision of youth
No doubts and nothing to fear, I claimed the corner on truth
These days it´s harder to say I know what I´m fighting for

My faith is falling away
I´m not that sure anymore

Shades of grey wherever I go
The more I find out the less that I know
Black and white is how it should be
But shades of grey are the colors I see

Once there were trenches and walls and one point of every view
Fight ´til the other man falls - kill him before he kills you
These days the edges are blurred, I´m old and tired of war
I hear the other man´s words
I´m not that sure anymore

Shades of grey are all that I find

When I look to the enemy line
Black and white was so easy for me
But shades of grey are the colors I see

Now with the wisdom of years, I try to reason things out
And the only people I fear are those who never have doubts
Save us all from arrogant men, and all the causes they´re for
I won´t be righteous again
I´m not that sure anymore

Shades of grey are all that I find
When I look to the enemy line
Ain´t no rainbows shining on me
Shades of grey are the colors I see

Shades of grey wherever I go
The more I find out the less that I know
Ain´t no rainbows shining on me
Shades of grey are the colors I see
