She Swings, She Sways - War Song текст песни

A world away at the age of 19, I once stood a strapping young lad
We conquered the world in a day and a half and left 10000 wounded and dead

Ache for me sister, bleed for me brother. For soon my bloodlust will be gone.
And if I come home to you broken or worse, bury me down on the lawn.


Well who wants to fight in a cold and dirty war for reasons we never will know
I'd kiss you goodbye but I'm afraid you'll forget the taste of my lips when I go

Don't cry for me mama like you cried for my papa, he's already been 12 years gone
If I have come home to you broken or worse, don't forget that I'm buried on the lawn


Time got it wrong when a decade came along and disappeared, when did the clock steal away
My bloody war is far from resolution, but maybe I wanted it that way.

Forget me my lover, die for me brother, just maybe I'm right where I belong
I'm forgotten and buried on the lawn
