The War Was In Color - Carbon Leaf[00:00:00]
I see you've found a box of my things[00:00:11]
Infantries tanks and smoldering airplane wings[00:00:21]
These old pictures are cool[00:00:32]
Tell me some stories[00:00:34]
Was it like the old war movies[00:00:36]
Sit down son[00:00:41]
Let me fill you in[00:00:44]
Where to begin[00:00:50]
Let's start with the end[00:00:53]
This black and white photo don't capture the skin[00:00:55]
From the flash of a gun to a soldier who's done[00:01:00]
Trust me grandson[00:01:06]
The war was in color[00:01:08]
From shipyard to sea[00:01:31]
From factory to sky[00:01:36]
From rivet to rifle from boot camp to battle cry[00:01:40]
I wore the mask up high on a daylight run[00:01:51]
That held my face in it's clammy hand[00:01:56]
Crawled over coconut logs[00:02:00]
And corpses in the coral sand[00:02:03]
Where to begin let's start with the end[00:02:10]
This black and white photo don't capture the skin[00:02:14]
From the shock of a shell or the memory of smell[00:02:19]
If red is for hell[00:02:25]
The war was in color[00:02:27]
I held the canvas bag over the railing[00:02:34]
The dead released with the ship still sailing[00:02:39]
Out of our hands and into the swallowing sea[00:02:44]
I felt the crossfire stitching up soldiers[00:02:54]
Into a blanket of dead[00:02:58]
And as the night grows colder[00:03:00]
In a window back home[00:03:03]
A blue star is traded for gold[00:03:06]
Where to begin[00:03:12]
Let's start with the end[00:03:15]
This black and white photo don't capture the skin[00:03:17]
When metal is churned[00:03:22]
And bodies are burned[00:03:25]
Victory earned[00:03:27]
The war was in color[00:03:29]
Now I lay in my grave at age 21[00:04:22]
Long before you were born[00:04:29]
Before I bore a son[00:04:33]
What good did it do[00:04:37]
Hopefully for you[00:04:40]
A world without war[00:04:43]
A life full of color[00:04:47]
Where to begin[00:04:50]
Let's start with the end[00:04:53]
This black and white photo never captured my skin[00:04:56]
Once it was torn from an enemy thorn[00:05:02]
Straight through the core[00:05:06]
The war was in color[00:05:09]
Where to begin[00:05:12]
Let's start with the end[00:05:14]
This black and white photo never captured my skin[00:05:16]
From the flash of a gun to a soldier who's done[00:05:22]
Trust me grandson[00:05:27]
The war was in color[00:05:29]
Trust me grandson[00:05:32]
The war was in color[00:05:34]
Trust me grandson[00:05:37]
The war was in color[00:05:42]
