Both sides who fought, loved their God
all would pray for their safe return home
the Angels of Light came to protect them
but there were evil forces at work

They fought hard and long and didn't want to kill
the enemy would have felt this way too
but driven by the spirit of King and Country
they did their country proud
but there were evil forces at work

To all, they were told often
you are fighting for freedom and peace
in anothers land, I suppose they were
still, they had this at home, before they left
but there were evil forces at work

So, was it our fight to do this ?
did our men have to die ?
did we learn anything from this ?
If not, then what's the reason why ?
but there were evil forces at work

Mothers, fathers, losing sons
children losing their dads
countries losing fine young men
yes, there were, evil forces at work
