• iron savior'ın "dark assault" albümünde yer alan güzel parça.
  
  after the war
  
  i saw the shadow decline
  in another world, another time
  reflecting battles full of fear
  so far away from home
  death has been near
  
  i fought for liberty and faith
  for survival of our race
  the toll of blood it has been high
  the dead will never see again
  the sun up in the sky
  
  i will return
  return to where i belong
  where i belong
  i will be
  be with you after this war
  after this war
  
  what i saw beyond the gate
  eternal darkness - our fate
  in everlasting night
  deserted and destroyed
  an empire without light
  
  the flame of hope kept me alive
  the iron will survive
  i did the things i had to do
  and in my very soul
  i've always been with you
  
  i will return...
  
  i had to leave it all behind
  on my way to the other side
  what to find ?
  
  i had to go
  into the unknown
  through all my fear
  you have been here
  here in my heart
  
  i will return...
  ohh, after the war
• asia grubunun 1985 yılında geffen records etiketi ile çıkan astra albümündeki sonuncu parça...
  sözleri :
  
  for those that are able
  to go underground
  missiles disenable
  they hit faster than sound
  they're coming and you have no choice
  the helpless with one human foice
  that will categorically say
  this underdog will have his day
  
  one more dead is one more than it ought to be
  a travesty
  one more missed will be kissed to eternity
  or purgatory
  
  after the war
  
  red button he's pressing
  but he knows not why
  he's programming orders
  war lights up the sky
  he's on the hotline tonight
  his mind is high as a kite
  his fingers decide wrong or right
  this man has it all in his sights
  
  used as tools to believe in autonomy
  minorities are no more
  men are fools, one last cry to humanity
  no sanity any more
  
  after the war
  
  on my arm, a tattoo for my sons to be
  that numbers you and me
  there's a scar on my face
  that is photographed for all to see
  
  after the war
• gary moore un 89 yılında çıkarttığı aynı adlı albümünden gaz sayılabilecek bir şarkı.
  
  so many came before you,
  the prisoners of fate.
  a history of bloodshed,
  a legacy of hate.
  but where will you be standing
  when the battles have been won?
  inside your lonely fortress
  the battle's just begun.
  
  after the war
  who will you be fighting for?
  after the war is over.
  after the fire
  is burning to its dying embers.
  after the war.
  
  a letter from the draft board,
  put pain to all your dreams.
  you're just another number
  in military schemes.
  they marched you in a uniform
  you wore against your will.
  with lies of hope and glory,
  they taught you how to kill.
  
  after the war
  who will you be fighting for?
  after the war is over.
  after the fire
  is burning to its dying embers.
  after the war.
  
  after the war,
  you thought you'd be a hero.
  after all that you survived.
  if hell was meant for heroes,
  you'd surely have arrived.
  
  after the war.
  after the war.
  
  after the war
  who will you be fighting for?
  after the war
  who will you be fighting for?
  after the fire
  is burning to its dying embers.
  after the war.
• 1989 çıkışlı harika gary moore albümü, kadroda bir de rahmetli cozy powell vardır insan daha ne ister:
  
  dunluce ( part 1 )
  after the war
  speak for yourself
  livin' on dreams
  led clones
  the messiah will come again
  running from the storm
  this thing called love
  ready for love
  blood of emeralds
  dunluce ( part 2 )
• eskimeyen gary moore şarkısı. önce bu şarkıyı dinlerim, ardından kulağım still got the blues ve parisienne walkways'teki gary moore'a kayar. şöyle bir kararsız kalır, sonra adamcağızın kendine yazık ettiğini düşünürüm.
• tema olarak "savaş bitti aldın mı babayı" şeklinde sormasına dayanır galip tarafın kendi kendine.
• gary moore'un aynı adlı albümüyle tesadüf olarak aynı yıl piyasaya çıkmış, dinamic software yapımı bir commodore 64 oyunu. kıyamet sonrası bir atmosferde geçer. ben hep rus işgaline uğramış bir amerikada geçtiğini düşünürdüm. düşmanlar ivan drago'ya benziyordu çünkü. oyunun ilk yarısı düşmanları tekme tokat dövdüğünüz bir beat 'em up tarzında iken sonrası bbiraz bilimkurgu havasına girer ve makineli tüfekle robotları öldürdüğünüz bir shoot'em up a dönüşür. bu açıdan da kendine has bir oyundur.
