In the fields where the shadows lie
**Verse 1:**
In the fields where the shadows lie,
Children play but they often cry,
For the bombs that fall like deadly rain,
Turning dreams into endless pain.
**Chorus:**
Oh, the futility of war,
Breaking hearts, leaving scars,
Tears and blood on the land we swore,
To protect, but we go too far.
**Verse 2:**
Communities torn, families weep,
Memories lost in the silence deep,
As the echoes of conflict steal the night,
Shattering homes, killing the light.
**Chorus:**
Oh, the futility of war,
Breaking hearts, leaving scars,
Tears and blood on the land we swore,
To protect, but we go too far.
**Bridge:**
The children’s laughter fades away,
Replaced by cries, the price we pay,
For battles fought with iron and flame,
Leaving only sorrow and shame.
**Verse 3:**
Nations crumble, futures lost,
Paying peace with a tragic cost,
The social fabric torn apart,
Healing wounds in every heart.
**Chorus:**
Oh, the futility of war,
Breaking hearts, leaving scars,
Tears and blood on the land we swore,
To protect, but we go too far.
**Outro:**
Long-term harm in body and mind,
Innocence lost, so hard to find,
In the end, we all must see,
War destroys humanity.
