[Verse 1]
Lying alone in the darkness
Empty bottle by my side
Trying to run from all the emptiness
But there's nowhere left to hide
I guess we gave it our best shot
You tried so hard to understand
You said I'm just like a stranger
Even I don't know who I am

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Maybe one day I'll be free again
One more chance to just be me again

[Chorus]
The winds of war (Winds of war)
Have taken their toll on me (Taken their toll on me)
Those winds of war (Winds of war)
Blow through the soul of me

[Verse 2]
Some things I've seen just keep haunting me
It's hard to live with these regrets
Ghosts from the past in my memory
Never letting me forget
Never new life could be so cruel
Lost faith in all that I believe
In love and war there are no rules
We'll do anything to be set free

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Maybe someday you'll be with me again
One more time, I'll learn to feel again

[Chorus]
The winds of war (Winds of war)
Have taken their toll on me (Taken their toll on me)
Those winds of war (Winds of war)
Blow through the soul of me (Oh)

[Bridge]
Hey (Feel them blowing)
Now in the every night ending (feel them blowing)
These feelings never go away (I close my eyes)
But it lives on inside (To my eyes)
From all these memories

Aah

[Chorus]
The winds of war (Winds of war)
Have taken their toll on me (Taken their toll on me)
Those winds of war (Winds of war)
Blow through the soul of me

[Outro]
I can't cry anymore—cry anymore, anymore (Winds of war, tears of all the night)
Those winds of war
Do blow through the soul of me
Winds of war, winds of war, they keep blowin'
