We've been sent to justify
Relieve the nation of its crimes
Blameless mission must begin
The chosen few of wars to win
A cold and a cruel sun
Enlightens a world so bold
If it's wrong then it musn't be us
Tomorrow we may never see
A sacrifice they say must be
As we fight our father's wars
We don't know what we're dying for
A cold and a cruel sun
Enlightens a world so bold
If it's wrong then it musn't be us
It's a shame that it ended up this way
But when the day is done
Then no one will have won
When will they call us?
And then, what will we do?
When will they call us?
And then, what will we do?
If I'm gonna die
God, I pray we're right
If I'm gonna die
God, I pray we're right
If I'm gonna die
God, I pray we're right
A cold and a cruel sun
Enlightens a world so bold
If it's wrong then it musn't be us
It's a shame that it ended up this way
But when the day is done
Then no one will have won
