Poets of the Fall - War

Artist: Poets of the Fall Track: War Album: Twilight Theater Year: 2010
I went through a big Poets of the Fall kick a few months ago and this song was the one that got me hooked on the band, so I thought it appropriate to feature this one. If you have ever played the game Alan Wake, you may recognize this song. It was featured there which is how I discovered this band.
I love Marko Saaresto's voice. It's so rich and strong and there's something about it that's just very different from most of the lead vocalists in my music collection. The song itself has a wonderful cinematic sound to it and lyrics are beautiful.
Also, make sure to check out more of their music because Poets of the Fall has a talent for excelling at different styles of music and it makes it hard to pin them down into a genre. There's probably something in their discography that will appeal to you, no matter what kind of music you like.

LYRICS:
Do you remember standing on a broken field White crippled wings beating the sky The harbingers of war with their nature revealed And our chances flowing by
If I can let the memory heal I will remember you with me on that field
When I thought that I fought this war alone You were there by my side on the frontline When I thought that I fought without a cause You gave me a reason to try
Turn the page I need to see something new For now my innocence is torn We cannot linger on this stunted view Like rabid dogs of war
I will let the memory heal I will remember you with me on that field
When I thought that I fought this war alone You were there by my side on the frontline And we fought to believe the impossible  When I thought that I fought this war alone We were one with our destinies entwined When I thought that I fought without a cause You gave me the reason why
With no-one wearing their real face It's a whiteout of emotion And I've only got my brittle bones to break the fall
When the love in letters fade It's like moving in slow motion And we're already too late if we arrive at all
And then we're caught up in the arms race An involuntary addiction And we're shedding every value our mothers taught
So will you please show me your real face Draw the line in the horizon 'Cause I only need your name to call the reasons why I fought
When I thought that I fought this war alone
