THE WAR IS NEVER OVER song lyrics/Words by Joel Sattler

A horse was riding across the ice
On a frozen lake a mile across
The gods of war played a game of dice
With every toss a life was lost

The blues were in, the whites were out,
The reds were digging in for keeps
We had to learn to live without
What you sow someone else will reap

A horse was riding across the ice
The guns were silent for a spell
The grunts had made their sacrifice
The cannons used up all their shells

The flames were high, the night was black,
The cold so cold your breath would crack
A thousand eyes were like the stars
A line of trees like prison bars

The war is never over
The war is never over
The war is never over
How long before we're going home?
I don't know, I don't know
When to we go home? I don't know

A horse was riding across the ice
The fight would start again at dawn
We did it once, we'll do it twice
But just how long can this go on?

The generals smoking in their tents
The sergeants yell across the field
The word spreads thru the regiments
We will not yield, we will not yield

A horse was riding across the ice
Bringing orders from the czar
Would the victory be worth the price
Either way you won't get far

I hear the sound of marching feet
I hear the whistling of the fight
Neither side admits defeat
Tomorrow all will be made right

A horse was riding across the ice
A finger was both yes and no
A gun was raised, the aim precise
It could go either way could go

The war is never over
The war is never over
The war is never over
How long before we're going home?
I don't know, I don't know
When do we go home? I don't know
