On the Verge of War Lyrics

How long, how long, how long?
How long, how long, how long?

And if youÂ'd asked me where IÂ'd be in twenty years
IÂ'd fill your ears with a tale of cheers and happiness
But now the vision so clear disappears
Ooh, based on candid fears and cloudiness

On the verge of war
We find ourselves on the battle line

So how long can we stand in the fire?
How long can we hope to stay alive?

How long, how long, how long?

And whether pro or con the light is on
In every mind across the way
Seize the day and make a choice
And if nothingÂ's solved, weÂ're still involved in this fight
And we need a united voice

On the verge of war
We find ourselves on the battle line

So how long can we stand in the fire?
How long can we hope to stay alive?
How long can we wait to find out what we have become?
How long Â
