After the war
And now that they´ve sent us homeward
I can´t help but feel that I´m on my own
No one can see just what this conflict has done to

The minds of the men who are on their way home

I´m scarred for life
but it´s not my flesh that´s wounded
So how can I face the torment alone
The vivid scenes and all the recurring nightmares
I lay there and sweat until it gets light

People say ´don´t worry´
Say that time´s a perfect healer
That the nightmares they will come to pass
Can´t hear what they´re saying
I am living in my own world
And I´m feeling trance-like all the time

I hear voices in my head
Could I really be going crazy

In the night the visions seem so real
Do you care if you live or die
When you laugh are you really crying
You´re not sure what´s real anymore

Fortunes of war
Fortunes of war
Fortunes of war
no pain anymore

Sometimes I wake
I feel that my spirit´s broken
I wonder if I´ve the strength...
carry on carry on
