The Pawns of War Lyrics

Mothers crying, young men dying, in the killing fields
Machines of war glide in the sky, the truth is not revealed
Shattered dreams of yesterday, forgotten in the war
Unto battle march our sons, returning nevermore

They suffer and bleed
For money and greed
Unto death
Husbands and fathers and brothers and sons
Will not forget

Wounded soldier bleeding badly, a victim of the mast
Send them home in body bags, how long must this last?

They suffer and bleed
For money and greed
Unto death
Husbands and fathers and brothers and sons
Will not forget

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
