Fog Of War

By Douglas DoNascimento

This song paints a haunting picture of the chaos and moral ambiguity of war, where soldiers are trapped in a relentless cycle of violence, uncertainty, and fear. It explores how the lines between friend and foe blur, leaving behind only shadows of lost souls fighting for reasons they barely trust. Through vivid imagery of bloodstained battlefields and muffled screams, the song reflects on the psychological toll of war, questioning the truth behind it all while yearning for clarity and redemption.

The Lyrics

Shadows crawl

In the haze of the battlefield

Bodies that rise and fall

Can’t see the end

Can’t find the start

Lost in the dark

Tangled in the heart

 

Feel the cold steel

A lesson never learned

Lost souls wander

Marked by smoke and burn

 

Caught in the fog of war, where nothing’s clear

Faces fade, swallowed up in fear

Can’t tell friend from foe anymore

In the heavy, silent weight of the fog of war

 

A promised victory, they scream we’re right

But all I see are shadows in the dying light

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust,

Fighting for reasons that we barely trust.

 

Screams get muffled, voices drown

Every soul in gray just goes down

Lines blur, truths collide

In the fog we march, nowhere to hide

 

Caught in the fog of war, where nothing’s clear

Faces fade, swallowed up in fear

Can’t tell friend from foe anymore

In the heavy, silent weight of the fog of war

 

The ground is red, the blood is black

Marching forward, never looking back

Like ghosts in a shadowed fight

Seeking shelter from the One light

 

Yeah, we’re caught in the fog, sinking in slow

Blinded by truths we’ll never know

With every breath, we just sink more

Trapped in the endless

Endless fog of war
