Beautiful War - Earl St. Clair

A warrior is worth as he rises above others

And staying strong in the mist of the strom

War is never pretty

But the outcome can be gorgeous

A beautiful war

All this walls will fall down

To this chamber I’m bound

The new king will be crowned

In this beautiful war-ar

Nobody plays fair

No expenses to spare

And by God they will swear

It’s a beautiful war-ar

It’s a beautiful war

Yea, yea, yeah

Yea, yea, yeah

It’s a beautiful war

Yea, yea, yeah

Yea, yea, yeah

And it above ground

In revenge we will drown

Murder boys are in doubt

For the beautiful war

Let the children go play

It just can’t take 'em today

Yea, you’re decent to stay

For the beautiful war

It’s a beautiful war

Yea, yea, yeah

Yea, yea, yeah

It’s a beautiful war

Yea, yea, yeah

Yea, yea, yeah

Battle is as battle does

It brings out all that is best

And removes all that is best

A coward is the one who let’s the fear

Overcome his sense of duty

Duty is the essence of war
