Who knows where the cold steel blows,
I ask my friends, but, nobody knows
Who am I to fight in the war,
Oh, war ain't no stranger
I looked around an' what did I see
Broken-armed people staring at me,
All searching 'cos they're still fighting,
Oh, war ain't no stranger
I was alone an' I needed war
So much I sacrificed all I was dreaming of,
I heard no warning, but, a sword can tell
I'd feel the emptiness of war I know so well
War ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger
War ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger to war, no, no, no
