Desert Storm Nur Mut
spoken
It was on the 15th of January 1991 when George Bush sent thousands of U.S.-Soldiers to
Cuweit for fighting back the Iraque army and free the occupied land.
It was the beginning of the "Mother of all Battles" as Saddam Hussein used to call this war.
There were bombs over Bagdad - SKUD-Rockets rushing to Jerusalem, PATRIOT-Missiles
Rising up the sky to destroy them.
The desert was dry, hot and without any mercy.
I saw dead soldiers, killed by friendly fire - thousands of people starving in this senseless
War. Oil-covered birds were lying on the Gulf-Beach. Burning oil surces were filling the air
With black clouds and there seemed to be no ending to that -
Desert Storm.
WAR - I can't believe it's true
WAR - No chance to hide away from you
WAR - The U.S. came in the morning dew
WAR - No game with toys like children used to do
WAR - Alone in foreign land
WAR - Laying on burning sand
WAR - So many young man die
WAR - Oh, God - I don't know why
You will see God in the nearer days
You can't live your life without a trace
You will see God in the nearer days
There's no place to run
Nowhere you can hide
No escape from the Desert Storm
WAR - We get the news on our TV
WAR - But is it true, we hear and see?
WAR - Just simply war between you and me
WAR - Why can't we let it be?
You will see God in the nearer days
You can't live your life without a trace
You will see God in the nearer days
There's no place to run
Nowhere you can hide
No escape from the Desert Storm
