We're suffering through tears of war
so what is it we're fighting for?
Cries of stop falling on deaf ears
taking up arms. These are my fears.

As gun fire blazes overhead
Another man down; he is dead.
The innocent always suffer
The quick death of yet another

Feel the loss of each soldier dead
Ground moistend by the tears we shed
The future now looks dark and grim
but those left behind remember him

Without this fight they would attack
Killing first down this beaten track.
Each returns tales of bravery
from stopping wars to slavery

Our front lines guard the way we live
To us, their lives they would gladly give.
Queen and country they will protect
Guarding against every suspect.

So that we don't they fight for us,
What is there now left to discuss?
This is what we are fighting for
Can't live without the tears of war.
