Lyrics:

Tears in his eyes

The fear, oh it never dies

The echoes of the past

Are rolling on and on

For those who were left back

Tomorrow never comes

Oh, it never comes



And after all these years

Something still remains

The forever repercussions

The eternal pain

Another sleepless night

And another break of day

It doesn't matter anymore

His life will fade away

In yellow rain



They crossed the water

Back in '69

They fought for glory

Behind the enemy lines

Fighting for the nations

Pushed into the war

Without not even knowing why

Or what they're fighting for



Oh, oh

Out on the plains

Some are the masters

Some are the slaves

Oh, oh

War is a never-ending mission

You're just a pawn in a game

Where the number is your name



Left home as heroes

Fools when they returned

Blamed for all the damage

And the villages they burned

Betrayed by their leaders

Murderers they were called

Denounced as crazy maniacs

And locked behind the walls



Oh, oh

Out on the plains

Some are the masters

Some are the slaves

Oh, oh

War is a never-ending mission

They are the victims

Doomed to die



In yellow rain

We've seen them dying in the fields

In yellow rain

Just like a knight

Who's in a fight, without a shield



Oh no

Try to forget, but it just won't go

Oh no

Forever in their memories

Oh no

Hell's just some thousand miles away

Oh no no



Oh, oh

Out on the plains

Some are the masters

Some are the slaves

Oh, oh

War is a never-ending mission

They are the victims

Doomed to die



[Chorus]
