Nur Ein X - Dogs of War

Nick Soma - Dogs of War

We ran for cover
Floodgates open wide
All our confines
Were cast aside

And as continents, they drift
All earthly powers shift
Fade away

Standing tall to reach the sky
A long track to ride
Harder to follow or to stay
We never knew, never tried

Do you think you'll take the lead
One day and never be in need
Of help?

(chorus:)
Stranger ways I used to know
The world was brighter back before
Those raging dogs, they were unleashed
Once gone our dreams we can't restore
The ocean calls me now, my eyes
Are tired and I'm feeling worn
With only shreds of memories
A life the dogs of war have torn

Cling to the past
You changed the locks too many times
Wrong answer every time you tried, so
Leave me behind

Now the skies are blue, the world is calm
Your destination stayed the same
If shadows fall and make you cry
Then tell me, who will be to blame?

And as continents, they drift
All earthly powers shift
Fade away

(chorus)

Fade away...

The Dogs of War
by the Cavedwellers

All in favor, raise your hand.
Motion carries. Take the stand.
Tell me what you thought we had in common.
You’re a girl and I’m a boy?
Hardly common ground, I'd say.
We'd share more if we were men or women.

It may be true that opposites attract,
But when that's through, the differences bite back.

You like “The Dogs of War,”
I like the “Hounds of Love,”
And I don't think you'll come around.

You say you compliment me well
I'm not buying what you sell,
All I want is someone who relates.
But if you were in fact like me,
With problems fully packed like me,
I’d need an exorcist for my soul mate!

It may be true that opposites attract;
Why can't you admit the basic facts?

You like “The Dogs of War,”
I like the “Hounds of Love,”
And I don't think you'll come around;
You like Ronald Reagan,
I like Carl Sagan,
There's no need to play it down.

The dogs of war have slipped today,
Now that the tyrant is driven away,
But Dave Gilmour discovered Kate:
Maybe someday we’ll conciliate.

All in favor: aye, or nay?
We live to fight another day.

It may be true that opposites attract;
We will make do and hold the old contract.

You like “The Dogs of War,”
I like the “Hounds of Love,”
And I don't think you'll come around;
You like Ronald Reagan,
I like Carl Sagan,
There's no need to play it down.
You are the Dogs of War,
I am the Hounds of Love,
If only we contain your rage;
I am less reclusive,
And you are less abusive
When you're not cornered in a cage.
