March To The Witchs Castle Lyrics

March To The Witchs Castle lyrics

February 12th, 1973

The prayers of thousands were answered

The war
was over, and the first of the prisoners returned

Needless to say, it was
the happiest day in up to thirteen years for most

For others, the real
nightmare had just begun

The nightmare of readjustment

And for
those, we will pray



Whooa-ohh-ohhh

Whooa-ohh-ohhh

Whoa-oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh-oh whooaaa

(x 5)



Father, bless
the soldier who has returned home from the war

He has fought with all his
might

Yet he knew not for what or who he was fighting for 

Death
waited in the shadows as he crawled by night for his country

His enemies
was many, including the habit he still cannot break

Father, we pray that
we might understand what has happened to his mind

And help us understand
his reaction 

To the changes that has taken place here at home

And
father, smile upon us, with your grace, for we will need you more than ever

Help him understand, that when his loved one remarried

They were truly
under the impression that he was dead

And never would return

Oh
lord, we pray



And father, why must wars be fought?

Someone
said this war ended with "Peace with honor"

But can there truly be?

Is there such a thing?

Thousands of boys gave their life, and for
what?

Do anybody know?



Oh lord, give us the strength to
understand ourselves

For we are mysterious animals, man

And as the
boys march home to the witch's castle

They will all need your help

I can hear them calling, calling out for you, father

For there is no
one else that can help

Smile upon us, oh lord

For we are very
weak

Very weak

Very weak

Very weak

Very weak
