"War Of Man" lyrics

"War Of Man"

The little creatures
Run in from the cold
Back to the nest
Just like the days of old
There in the safety
Of a mother's arms
The warmth of ages
Far away from harm again

Ears ringin'
From the battle fire
The tired warrior
Aims a little higher
The black falcon
Or the little sparrow
The healing light
Or the flash of the barrel

No one wins
It's a war of man
No one wins
It's a war of man

Silver mane flyin' in the wind
Down through the planets
On the run again
No one knows where
They're runnin' to
But every kind is comin'
Two by two

Out on the delta
Where the hoofbeats pound
The daddy's runnin'
On the frozen ground
Can't smell the poison
As it follows him
Can't see the gas and machines
It's a war of man

No one wins
It's a war of man
No one wins
It's a war of man

The windows open
And the little girl dreams
The sky's her playground
As she mounts her steed
Across the heavens
To the other side
On wings of magic
Does the little girl ride

The baby creatures
Run in from the cold
Back to the nest
Just like the days of old
There in the safety
Of a mother's arms
The warmth of ages
Far away from harm again

No one wins
It's a war of man
No one wins
It's a war of man
No one wins

No one wins
No one wins
