- Veteran Of The Psychic Wars Lyrics / with translationsYou see me now a veteran
of a thousand psychic wars
I've been living on the edge so long
where the winds of limbo roar
And I'm young enough to look at
and far too old to see
All the scars are on the inside
I'm not sure that there's
anything left of me
Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating up our brains
Oh please don't let theses shakes go on
You ask me why I'm weary
why I can't speak to you
You blame me for my silence
say it's time I changed and grew
But the war's still going on dear
and there's no end that I know
And I can't say if we're ever
I can't say if we're
ever gonna to be free
Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating out our brains
Oh please don't let theses shakes go on
(instrumental)
You see me now a veteran
of a thousand psychic wars
My energy's spent at last
and my armor is destroyed
I have used up all my weapons
and I'm helpless and bereaved
Wounds are all I'm made of
Did I hear you say
that this is victory?
Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
Send me to the rear
Where the tides of madness swell
and been sliding into hell
Oh please don't let shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on
of a thousand psychic wars
I've been living on the edge so long
where the winds of limbo roar
And I'm young enough to look at
and far too old to see
All the scars are on the inside
I'm not sure that there's
anything left of me
Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating up our brains
Oh please don't let theses shakes go on
You ask me why I'm weary
why I can't speak to you
You blame me for my silence
say it's time I changed and grew
But the war's still going on dear
and there's no end that I know
And I can't say if we're ever
I can't say if we're
ever gonna to be free
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating out our brains
Oh please don't let theses shakes go on
(instrumental)
You see me now a veteran
of a thousand psychic wars
My energy's spent at last
and my armor is destroyed
I have used up all my weapons
and I'm helpless and bereaved
Wounds are all I'm made of
Did I hear you say
that this is victory?
Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
Send me to the rear
Where the tides of madness swell
and been sliding into hell
Oh please don't let shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on
