The sniper awaits his target. And reflects over the necessary uglyness of war.
Lyrics
FACES
Verse one
Fifteen hours and still no sleep
Fifteen hours to think
Fifteen chances to take this man to Heaven
Liberation calls
as the room revolves
Like hundred times before
Verse two
Another morning another name
Junihnio Mario Ray
And will he when we meet again forgive me?
Waving to his mum
Watch the young boys run
Kissing mid-day sun
Chorus
Faces – hundreds of faces
Hundreds of names
I will never be the same
Cheering embraces
This war we will win
But we´ll never win the peace
I know that I´ll be
All I ever wanted to be
Verse three
A sip of water, a drop of sweat
Never last to the set
The bells are calling for you my friend
I´ll remember
your easy way your face
Your happy final day
You´ll join them in my prayers
Chorus
Faces – hundreds of faces…
Break
And sometimes I pass the little cottage
Mother, how it stings
The roof is away and the windows are broken
like the childhood dreams
I see strangers I used to know in the streets
And when the frightened kiss my wrists
I hear their silent screams
I fear their silent dreams
Verse four
Standing still in strangest light
Peaceful gaze inside your eyes
Silent in the village square
Do you understand?
Time to end it all
The steaming room revolves
Breathe and there he goes
Chorus
Faces – hundreds of faces…
