Lyrics
SECRET WAR by Richard C. (Kluso) Tollini 2005
Your golden skies do they seem so far away
And blue eyes, blue eyes, blue eyes like youll never see again
When they shake your hand how do you feel inside do you
Want to scream ? they got it all wrong? The ultimate sacrifice
So lay down, lay down in green fields and rest your weary soul
You know youre the best hope for our future so tell all the world what you know
Tell the world what you know, tell us the truth you know
So come here now my son and tell me about your secret war not the one
you fought on foreign shores, but the one that comes at night when the demons call
so now dont bury it inside and save it for your golden years
the bitter bile will eat its way through the thin veneer of your pride
and all those who throw the garlands at your feet then look the other way
until they think its safe to speak of the shame of it all, and aint it such a waste?
so lay down, lay down, lay down here where you can see your golden skies, and
know one day you will find your way to where the eagle flies, to where the eagle flies, to where the eagles fly
So come here now my son and tell me about your secret war not the one you fought on foreign shores, but the one that comes at night when the demons call
Theyre calling you to accept your fate and close this open door
Tell you theres nothing wrong with killing those who hate, but you dont wanna hear no more, dont wanna hear no more, dont wanna hear_______no more___
And if they really knew the truth dont you think theyd find another way
That everything we think and say and do comes back to you some day, comes back to you some, comes back to you some day
So come here now my son and tell me about your secret war so you can come home once again and find the peace you fought to win under your golden skies
So come here my son and tell me about your Secret War
ahaaahhh
