Warriors Without Guns

We were made of wild passion
We couldn't hold fast to dreams
We had to fly so high,
We found the sky was not enough
But our youth was fleeting
And the hopes we lived on
Were buried in the ground alive
We saw them with emotionless dry eyes

Those dreams that once came true
Those dreams of glory days
Have blown up with the smoke
From the guns that mutely blaze
And tonight the heroes lie
In a pool of blood and slime
Dead to the sweet victory
Dead to the midnight chime

We're warriors
Warriors without our guns
Fighting for survival
Fighting when the battles are undone

And when the morning mist clears
You smell agony in the air
As cold unblinking eyes
Seek the roads that go nowhere
Society sleeps in peace
With peace to us betrayed
Can they bring back the blood that's shed
Can they bring back all the dead?

We're warriors
Warriors without our guns
Fighting for someone
And somewhere we'll never ever learn

We're warriors
Warriors without our guns
We lived up to the faith
Marching on, on the paths that don't return

We're trapped n the swamp of a lost out cause
To burn out in despair

And from the ash that remains, no Phoenix flies
To die in the choking air

We're doomed to be lost in conflicting ways
But none without a dead end

But we were hard and could stand the inflicted pain
Prepared to break but not to bend

We're warriors
Warriors without our guns
Fighting for survival
Fighting when the battles are undone

We're warriors
Warriors without our guns
Fighting on somewhere
For someone we'll never ever learn

We're warriors
Warriors without our guns
We lived up to the faith
Marching on, on the roads that don't return

We're warriors
Warriors without our guns
Warriors!
Without our guns!!
