Yellow Rain Songtext
von Pretty Maids

Tears in his eyes
The fear, oh, it never dies
The echoes of the past
Are rolling on and on
For those who were left back
Tomorrow never comes
Oh, it never comes

After all those years
Something still remains
The forever repercussions
The eternal pain

Another sleepless night
And another break of day
It doesn′t matter anymore
His life will fade away
In yellow rain


They crossed the water back in '69
They fought for glory behind the enemy lines
Fighting for the nations, pushed into the war
Without not even knowing why or what they′re fighting for

Oh, oh, out on the plains
Some are the masters, some are the slaves
Oh, oh, war is a never-ending mission
You're just a pawn in a game
Where a number is your name

Left home as heroes, fools when they returned
Blamed for all the damage and the villages they burned
Betrayed by their leaders, murderers they were called
Denounced as crazy maniacs and locked behind the walls

Oh, oh, out on the plains
Some are the masters, some are the slaves
Oh, oh, war is a never-ending mission
They are the victims doomed to die

In yellow rain
We've seen them dying in the fields
In yellow rain
Just like a knight who′s in a fight without a shield


Oh, no
Try to forget, but it just won′t go
Oh, no
Forever in their memories
Oh, no
Hell's just some thousand miles away
Oh, no, no

Oh, oh, out on the plains
Some are the masters, some are the slaves
Oh, oh, war is a never-ending mission
They are the victims doomed to die

In yellow rain
We′ve seen them dying in the fields
In yellow rain
Just like a knight who's in a fight without a shield

In yellow rain
We′ve seen them dying in the fields
In yellow rain
Just like a knight who's in a fight without a shield
