Перевод песни Gary Moore - After the war

So many came before you,

the prisoners of fate.

A history of bloodshed,

a legacy of hate.

But where will you be standing

when the battles have been won?

Inside your lonely fortress

the battle’s just begun.

After the war

who will you be fighting for?

After the war is over.

After the fire

is burning to it’s dying embers.

After the war.

A letter from the draft board,

put pain to all your dreams.

You’re just another number

in military schemes.

They marched you in a uniform

you wore against your will.

With lies of hope and glory,

they taught you how to kill.

After the war

who will you be fighting for?

After the war is over.

After the fire

is burning to it’s dying embers.

After the war.

After the war,

you thought you’d be a hero.

After all that you survived.

If hell was meant for heroes,

you’d surely have arrived.
