Die Happy Worlds Away lyrics

They were children fighting in the fields
Muddy faces, bows and arrows
Pretending that their fatal wounds would heal
But that was then and this is now

Give me a reason, a reason to stay
I am lost, confused, worlds away
So give me the answer, show me the way
'Cause I'm bound to lose, feel betrayed

Now they're fighting in the killing fields
Digging trenches, drowning sorrows
No pretending now, the pain is real

Asking why and what it's for?

So welcome to the real world
It's a question of belief
Is it worth dying for

Give me the power, the power to stay
I am weak, confused, worlds away
So give me the patience to rescue my faith
'Cause I'm sure to lose this crusade
