In my opinion one of the best anti-war songs ever... from the German legendary progrock band Eloy and their album Time to Turn.
Inspired by the books "Faces Of World War" I felt the desire to show the faces, or at least some of them...
And here the lyrics:
HEY - HEY
say, is it really true,
that the flame of hope has grown?
that the spirit has changed;
that the few no longer stand alone?
say, is it really true,
that the thought of war's lost its meaning?
that self-made devils died;
the idols of wealth and power are sinking?
the coldest nights finally followed by dawn;
an outburst of light,
that cures the blind.
a strong conviction has evolved in time;
that life demands deeds we must define.
say, is it really true,
that once buried virtues now arise?
that the being itself
no longer asks for a disguise?
a power that's been neglected, denied;
now blossoms and grows, calls out the best.
at last the change of an era has come;
but there won't be much time to rest.
say, is this the force I feel within
heart and mind the truth?
or am I deceived again, painfully abused?
say, is it really true,
that the flame of hope has grown?
or am I deceived again, painfully abused?
