Moon, how it falls on the field down among us
Rain falls on the king and his men on the riverbed
Now, now we meet after all these years
Do you my king, do you remember me?
Yeah, I see your face before me now
And I'm telling you tonight that I know we belong beyond this life
The war has taken its turn and it ain't ever turning back
verse 2
I grew to be a man
A man who grew to be a king
Got a job at the mill
And when the war came I signed up for you
Every day now I send a letter to the people back home
Oh, I bet you long for the life that you lived
Me and myself I got nothing to lose but this war
And I'm telling you the war that I fought It was wrong
And we must die
Well now the shells are hammering down on the riverbed
Interlude
verse 3
Drums roll and we must go, we must go, the enemy is upon us
Rise from your knee and now, pull to the bridge
Oh, brother don't turn, cause I'm right behind you now
For I'm telling you the war that I fought It was wrong
And we must die
It doesn't matter much now anyway, tonight we unite
Coda
And when we're pushing through, I turn around one last time
And through the fire and the rain I see the king's white flag
The king lives on, but everyone
Everybody dies
