The Enemy lyrics

Distant, faint, hatred, unknown

We kill because we are told so

If we don't they surely will

Yet no grudge made anyone

Once it was all green, so green

Beneath the canopies of yellow

Where monsoon and vermin

Beat down those wandering low

The deserts and the mountains

They give no notice to a war

Its echoes roll through briefly

Calls and rounds zing no more

Each side like children chanting

A deadly game that vilifies men

Where the good mix with the bad

Dead or coming back again

Few live for the destruction

Those find fate there or soon

The rest want to go back home

A world once dear, forever gone

Shadows lie long in memory

Two worlds apart, two the same

Like a horror movie matinée

Ending, a shining sun lays claim

No one wants to be there

Reality is but a bad dream

A game of tactics and testiments

No winners it would seem

The contesters never present

Safe and snug in their domain

Would-be bystanders innocent

Sacrificed for their great claim

So ends the destructive maylay

Intense hatred wanes woe unfed

The relics of war waste and rust

Peace lies strewn amongst dead
