Back From The Front - The Call

We watched from the hillsides

They couldn’t be saved

We felt so helpless

They couldn’t be saved

The truth about war

It’s a total waste

It’s the ultimate drug

It’s the ultimate taste

Back from the front

Oh oh oh

Back from the front

Oh oh oh

When you see the white light

Cover your eyes

Brush off the dust

And straighten your tie

Back from the front

The battle rages

Bursts into flames

Young men fall

Too many to name

The guilty are the innocent

And the misplaced blame

We’re too numb to know the difference

We’re too numb to feel the shame

Back from the front

Oh oh oh

Back from the front

Oh oh oh

When you see the white light

Cover your eyes

Brush off the dust

And straighten your tie

Back from the front

Battle still rages

Brothers take sides

Sons of betrayal

Abandon and hide

The crowd looks upward

One looks down

A blow to the temple

Knocked to the ground

We lost all hope in the struggle

We lost all touch

Beware of the merciless noise

And the choking air

But war is just a symptom

Of a far deeper pain

That strains at the spirit

Again and again

Back from the front

Oh oh oh

Back from the front

Oh oh oh

It’s a rush of power

When hate runs wild

The blood runs holy

With the reconciled

Back from the front

Back from the front

Back from the front

Back from the front

Back from the front (Oh oh)

Back from the front

Back from the front

Back from the front

Back from the front
