Veteran Of The Psychic Wars
Blue Öyster Cult
You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
I've been living on the edge so long
Where the winds of limbo roar
And I'm young enough to look at, and far too old to see
All the scars are on the inside
I'm not sure that's there's anything left to me
Don't let these shakes go on!
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating up our brains
Oh, please, don't let these shakes go on!
You ask me why I'm willing, why I can't speak to you
You blame me for my silence, saying it's time I changed and grew
But the wars still going on dear
And there's no one that I know
And I can't stand forever
I can't say if were ever gonna be free
Don't let these shakes go on!
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating up our brains
Oh, please, don't let these shakes go on!
You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
My energy is spent at last, and my armor is destroyed
I have used up all my weapons, and I'm helpless and bereved
Wounds are all I'm made of!
Did I hear you say that this is victory?
Don't let these shakes go on!
It's time we had a break from it, send me to the rear!
Where the tides of madness swell
And been sliding into hell
Oh, please, don't let these shakes go on!
Don't let these shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on!
