Despair - Burnt Out Souls lyrics

Like the sun That burns the desert ground You leave scars On innocent souls You s** their brains out And then fill them up with paroles Young boys to tell propaganda tales Look into these hopeless eyes As they get raped By the camera-eye A young life sold to war A wasted youth Searching far a lost childhood War is lie War is cruel War is lie War is cruel I've seen a lake of tears Shed by the mothers Of the disappeared A sea of blood Red as the sinking sun We cry for children lost In wars we never won Cries of pain That we can't ignore All around the world when children go to war So just switch on the news Or listen to the radio Look into these eyes Like into a deep, black hole I've seen this face So many times before Child of Vietnam or any other war Young boys to tell propaganda tales Soldier boy Left to die War is lie War is cruel War is lie War is cruel
