Nathan Wagner's video: Nathan Wagner - Endless War

Here’s a darker song I wrote about propaganda and war. I’ve been so nervous about this one. It’s honestly been one of the most painful songs I've worked on. Thinking through history about so many atrocities. I hate war. I hate loss. I know it's often necessary and to those who've served, I could not be more grateful for your courage. Your protection. I didn't want to share this one. It seemed like it might be offensive/divisive/just be too painful for so many people. But something in me felt like I should. So here it is. Love you all so much. Taking the time to listen to my work means more than you could ever know.

Endless war Just toil away To spread our plague Keep devastating All in vein What’s it for? So they sent us away on their mission Thinking heroes we’ll be Through the smoke saw a man looked suspicious So I put him to sleep How it woke me up From this daze Killed a man He had a name For what sake I don’t know Constantly It’s in my head The memory It never left Can’t escape it won’t go What is it for? Endless war Just toil away To spread our plague Keep devastating All in vein What’s it for? I don’t want to fight no more Watch my brothers die no more Everything feel’s so out of place I don’t wanna cry no more See another life get torn Tell me what’s the point to this pain I don’t wanna lie no more Just don’t know what’s right no more Gotta be a different way I just can’t stay quiet no more Been twisting with my mind since birth It’s looking like we’re all being played What is it for? Endless war Just toil away To spread our plague Keep devastating All in vein What’s it for?
