Angel Of War - Yusuf Islam

O Angel Of War!

What am I fighting for?

If death comes tomorrow inform me before, inform me before

O Young Soldier Boy!

Ill tell you what I know

If peace is your wish, to battle you must go, to battle you must go

O Angel Of War!

Please make it clear to me

Which is my side, and who is my enemy?

and who is my enemy?

O Young Soldier Boy!

The world is open wide

So look to wherever, the truth is forced to hide, the truth is forced to hide

O Angel Of War!

Within myself I see

Battle has started, what will become of me?

what will become of me?

O Young Soldier Boy!

You’re Wiser than you seem

Look into your heart, and keep your motives clean, and keep your motives clean

O Angel Of War!

What weapons do I need?

Lest I may perish, that I may succeed, that I may succeed

O Young Soldier Boy!

If you protect the poor

Let truth be your armour, and justice be your sword, and justice be your sword

O Angel Of War!

What makes me want to fight?

I sometimes feel hatred, is it wrong or right?

is it wrong or right?

O Young Soldier Boy!

The war you wage

If it’s for your ego, it will die in rage, it will die in rage

O Angel Of War!

How can I tell for sure

Pride’s not its reason that I’m fighting for, that I’m fighting for

O Young Soldier Boy!

That’s something I can’t tell

God knows you reason and you should know as well, and you should know as well

O Angel Of War!

When I look at me

I’m fearful to confess, the enemy I see, the enemy I see

O Young Soldier Boy!

Now you can go your war

I’ll see you tomorrow, a boy you’ll be no more, a boy you’ll be no more
