Story behind the song
tHIS SONG IS BORN AGAIN BY THE GREAT WRITING SKILLS OF GRAHAM, WHO WROTE THOSE LYRICS INSPIRED BY MY TRACK "IN THE NAME OF GOD"...
THIS IS CLEARLY AN ANTI-WAR SONG...WAR HAS NO MEANINGS,NO REASON,NOTHING CAN BE SETTLED WITH IT..WAR HAS NO WINNERS, THERE CAN BE ONLY LOOSERS,SUFFERING HATE AND DEGRADATION OF HUMAN BEINGS AND NATURE...WAR BRINGS OUT ALL THE WORST IN HUMAN NATURE, ALL THE BABYLON THAT LAYS IN MANKIND AS SINGLE INDIVIDUALS AND AS A WHOLE...
Lyrics
For God and Country, off you go to war
To fight for all, you’re told is right.
What ever that may be.
Left right left, off to a foreign shore.
In the name of liberty.
Once more.
You’re the saviour of democracy.
And if you have kill to bring that to be.
You’ll do so willingly.
In the name of God and Country.
But who will save you from yourself.
As you re-live the hell.
Of knowing that wrongs were done.
In the name of God and country.
Wrong is never right.
And can’t be denied.
In the horror that comes cantering in.
Night after night.
As a soldier, you may claim.
You only did.
What you were told, you had to do.
Just following orders.
That’s what a soldier’s trained to do.
You’re a servant to the uniform.
A number not a name.
So for any wrong you do.
You can’t be held to blame.
But it’s not the same on civvy-street.
If you make it through.
Your orders come from within.
From your conscience, straight to you
How will you justify.
The sins you will re-live.
And won’t ever forgive yourself for.
Because you went off to war.
Wrong is never right.
And can’t be justified, or denied.
In the horror that comes cantering in.
Night after night.
Even for God and country.
