Devin Townsend - War Lyrics






In the morning 'bout three or so
Can't stop thinking about what I know
In the morning 'bout three or so
Can't stop thinking of the universe

I keep rocking, I keep rolling
Trade in the minute for a minute that isn't there
Keep dropping, keep rolling
Put out the fire with the water
Thinking creosote

I the morning with a beat up bud I know
I can't fight a war without losing blood

In the morning 'bout three or so
Can't stop seeking what I need to know
God is in the mountain as is in the rock
And god is not concerned about keeping stock

So keep rocking, keep rolling
Trade in the minute for a minute that isn't there
Keep dropping, keep rolling
Put out the fire with the water
Thinking creosote

All he ever wanted was to be alone
But you can't feel love without being loved!

(Can't fight a war without losing blood)
(Blood... blood... blood...)
All we ever wanted was love
Love! (doo wop boddum... doo wapideewapideewapideedoo...)
We can see the enemy, they say...
Hey! we don't want your war!
It's quite nice, white light, it's quite, it's quite extraordinary!
Window! It's a window! It's white! It's quite... quite...
God, quiet! Just a little bit of quiet please!

Just stop the noise for once... please!

    P.... B....

    Welcome to the freakshow, friend. If you haven't already, check out the albums Accelerated Evolution or Addicted. Or Epicloud. Or anything from the last 20 years really; Anneke sings on alot of his stuff and she's got her own various bands going back to the 90's.

    P.... B....

    I hear you... I found him only in 2020...

  17. t.... 8....

    Devin, the music, the band, fantastic but I‘ll die for Liv ...

    this is a man who absolutely loves his job.

  20. J.... O....

    I FFFFN LUV IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  21. m.... ....

    The worst song of Devin Townsend. Simple dumb twelve bar scheme with annoying rythmics. Boring vocals. This is not metal.

  22. c.... ....

    nice tits

  23. e.... ....

    Musical metal! He should do a cover of "you're the one that I want"!!!!

  24. M.... M....

    Only retards disliked this video.

  25. S.... P....

    Wow! Holy shit. This was really good. Why did I never see this before?

  26. C.... B....

    What a cringey video. I’ve watched it 100 times and can’t tell if I love it or hate it

  27. R.... G....

    Devon Townsend the Musical... Lol.... Just Awesome!!!!

  28. j.... ....

    I’m the 666k View :)

  29. M.... H....

    Devi gives me goose bumps. Not many do but this fucker does often.

  30. B.... O....

    This is insane and I love it. Angle grinders on stage. Sold!!!

  31. C.... W....

    Poor Anneke is having a panic attack... this sort of shit isn't her cup of tea. Which is fair :x Shit would be too intense for me to perform under too.

  32. E.... G....

    amazing....simply FANTASTIC!!!!!

  33. D.... M....

    How and the hell can this guys music make me smile and cry and the same time!!!!

  34. O.... R....

    Your 2-year old knows music better than him! You call this music! OMG! How to fake music is à la mode these days. Have fun but don't call this shit music... You can do it in a couple of days if you will just give it a try ... :)

  35. V.... ....

    This is a metal opera! <3

  36. T.... ....

    That 'Do Wahp' part gets me every single time. It's just a perfect, hilarious surprise

  37. J.... V....

    this stuff is awesome...so powerful and simple/elegant

  38. d.... ....

    it's so cheesy and stupid, but at the same time so amazing!))

  39. J.... ....

    anneke from the gathering ??

  40. T.... ....

    new NeverEnding Story theme song

  41. K.... M....

    Devin, are you ever coming to Russia?

  42. J.... P....

    Rocks my harry ass

  43. m.... o....

    Playing this november in Denmark, damn I hope Anneke is joining in

  44. M.... B....

    This is fucking amazing! Hevy Devy is the real deal. Those angle grinders with no eye protection makes me nervous though. :D

  45. M.... ....

    DT is a very talented guy. A song to fuck to.

  46. C.... G....

    embarrassing to watch for an old school metal head

    C.... G....

    Yeah, those old school metalheads in the front row in the Strapping shirts look embarrassed and bored as fuck.

  47. m.... ....

    I just love how Devin shows metal isn’t all dark and grimy.
    Of course he has his deep/brutal songs (like deadhead, juular and so on), but still he has songs like this one, like Universal Flame, like Kingdom, which just make you feel good

  48. a.... j....

  49. H.... ....

    Damn are they really using grinders to make sparks?

  50. c.... a....

    I know they're both married and probably happy, but Devin and Anneke would be the ultimate couple in metal and all of music if they'd just confess their undying love for one another.

    c.... a....

    Stop with this trying to ship people. It's fucking gay.

    c.... a....

    @Jack Rotten Soem peopel are just that emotionally immature that they can't separate musical onstage chemistry from sexual/romantic chemistry. It's sad really.

  51. M.... P....

    How does Devin know what goes on in my head?

    M.... P....

    Yup me too even in the early days of his career...:O

  52. T.... B....

    Back in the day I dreamed about playing in shows like this.

  53. H.... ....

    Such an incredible sound and sight! Awesome and what a lucky bunch of people to be there to see it!

  54. M.... L....

    annoying dude and boring. not fer me

  55. C.... P....

    talented bunch but for me the cheesy stage performance doesn't suit the music genre

  56. A.... H....

    TOUNSEND es todo un artista . LO AMO

    A.... H....

    Yo lo descubrí hace poco y me voló la cabeza !

  57. G.... S....

    I keep thinking of the Kurgan from Highlander, if he was stuck in the happy side of being bipolar

  58. M.... P....

    По моему прикольно и здорово. Очень здорово!

  59. F.... W....

    Apart from a rather prolonged intro this is brilliant !

  60. T.... ....

    If you like a lot of people marching on stage watch also: "Siddharta - T.H.O.R. (Stadion Stožice DVD)"

  61. t.... ....

    The Health and Safety person must have been having a fit!

  62. G.... X....

    Rocky horror?

  63. J.... P....

    I like Devin's voice but this is so campy and corny.

  64. R.... M....

    Lol only in canada and maybe France

  65. A.... F....

    Lol, fuck this is so unbelievably unnatural and different...you cannot mistake this music with anyone else.

  66. W.... W....

    Devin is a genius, very hard to understand, very easy to enjoy

  67. J.... W....

    10th time watching. Still can't work out what's going on.

    J.... W....

    there having a war in the background how hard is that to figure out

  68. T.... B....

    Uncle Fester?

  69. D.... J....

    I have listened to this recording repeatedly, religiously, for years

  70. D.... J....

    This is what plays when Satan is about to take the last soul on Earth and suddenly the last soul says no and all the sudden the Galaxy explodes into a thousand prisms

    D.... J....

    Keep in mind, Devin stuck Jay Leno's phone up his ass to spite Leno. The man is a treasure.

  71. R.... W....

    The Zoo

  72. L.... p....

    5 mins too long

  73. L.... B....
