The War Back Home Lyrics

Last month they said some things they didn't mean... the King and Queen

Words that were full of spite. That had some bite. Then they said goodnight

Next day, they woke to say it was all just play to keep the war at bay

But they knew all too well the lies they tell. War is hell

They say that sticks and stones may break skin and bones

But words do worse. They birth a curse

They come from deep within exposing all our lies and sin

It's so perverse

Last week the storm clouds formed from words that swarmed and became the norm

They spent their time in different rooms avoiding gloom and impending doom

Each day, an intense calm. A growing qualm. A ticking bomb

Counting down to the death knell you cannot quell. War is hell

They say that sticks and stones may break skin and bones

But words do worse. They birth a curse

They come from deep within exposing all our lies and sin

It's so perverse

Last night the stressfulness of their game of chess was not suppressed

The violence rose. They came to blows. That's how it goes when you go nose to nose

But what's worse, the Queen and King said what they mean. It was so obscene

Words that forever shell the soul to hell. War is hell

They say that sticks and stones may break skin and bones

But words do worse. They birth a curse

They come from deep within exposing all our lies and sin

It's so perverse

They say that sticks and stones may break skin and bones

But words do worse. They birth a curse

They come from deep within exposing all our lies and sin

It's so perverse
