Backstory:

This is a demo done by Aeriel Stiles (songwriterdemoservice.com), and I think he did a great job.  His ideas on the production aspects of the song were extremely helpful.  I can't wait to work with him some more.

This is War (These are Lives)
© 2007 Steven Richards


Soldiers walking thru the night
Distant shots, they hear the fight
Some are boys, some are men
Some will never come back again

Friendlies flying overhead
Laying down a wall of lead
Cannons tearing up the ground
Slicing through the battle sounds

Chours
Do you recognize?
This is war, and these are lives
Do you comprehend?
We are the ones that can make it end

The radio cracks and cries
A call for fire lights the sky
The septic smell of steel and death
Penetrate the sergeant's breath

The medic cries and screams out loud
He pounds his fists into the ground
Another tag beneath the tongue
Another war that’s never won

Chorus
Do you recognize?
This is war, and these are lives
Do you comprehend?
We are the ones that can make it end

Staccato knock upon the door
A baby’s spoon hits the floor
A medalled chest to ease the pain
From stinging words that can’t explain


Instantly, her world goes black
She never thought he won’t come back
Another child that’s never known
Another Angel coming home

Chorus

Bring, bring our soldiers home
Bring, bring our soldiers home
