Winter's Tear Songtext
von D.A.M.

Of mice and man, and all the way to the bitter end
Will it ever end?
These four walss hold no comfort
No warmth at all, only the cold
I could show you a place that would make you sad
Where man stood proud
But the sights reduce all
And the most frightening thing of all
Is what′s held in your hand

I try to forget, but the memory of war
Is stronger now than it was before
And when I fall asleep at night
I wake and reach for my gun
But there's nothing there
And there′s noone there
It's just another nightmare
From which I can't run


The sweat runs cold as a bitter chill bites from the night
It′s another one of those nights
Sleep doesn′t come easy now
And when it does it doesn't last long
And these sleepless nights are all I have to show
No medal is worth its weight in gold
The scars on my flesh are nothing
Compared to the nightmares, so cold

I could almost be there, I could taste the air
Running so real through the killing fields
Machine gunfire, shredded by barbed wire
Then I see my friend and the nightmare ends

But will these nightmares ever end!

Johnny was my only friend
We swore to be there until the end
Side by side for days we fought
And end it all if we were caught
And as I stared into his eyes
Upon his face appeared a smile
The he fell into my arms
And died right there in my arms


His blood dripping from my hands
And what I could not understand
Is why my friend so brave so tall
Should be the one who′s made to fall?
I lost the best friend that I had
He died with pride, that's not all he had
His little boy will have to know
Why daddy won′t be coming home

I relieve it all every night of my life
Noone can help, not even my wife
It all keeps flooding back
The blood and bullet in my friend's back
The sreams, the tears, the tormented cries
The pain to show the white of an eye
And to have seen what I had seen
Would make the hardest man cry
