Lyrics:David Mallett Music:David Mallett | |
And you say that the battle is over, | |
And you say that the war is all done- | |
Go tell it to those with the wind in their nose | |
Who run from the sound of the gun, | |
And write it on the sides of the great whaling-ships, | |
Or on ice floes where conscience is tossed- | |
With the wild in their eyes, it is they who must die | |
And it's we who must measure the loss. | |
And you say that the battle is over, | |
And finally the world is at peace- | |
You mean no one is dying, and mothers don't weep, | |
Or it's not in the papers, at least. | |
There are those who would deal in the darkness of life, | |
There are those who would tear down the sun, | |
And most men are ruthless, but some will still weep | |
When the gifts we were given are gone. | |
Now the blame cannot fall on the heads of a few, | |
It's become such a part of the race; | |
It's eternally tragic for that which is magic | |
To be killed at the end of the glorious chase. | |
From young seals to great whales, | |
From waters to woods, | |
They will fall just like weeds in the wind; | |
With fur coats, and perfumes, and trophies on walls: | |
What a hell of a race to call men. | |
And you say that the battle is over, | |
And you say that the war is all done- | |
Go tell it to those with the wind in their nose | |
Who run from the sound of the gun. | |
And write it on the sides of the great whaling-ships, | |
Or on ice floes where conscience is tossed; | |
With the wild in their eyes, it is they who must die, | |
And it's we who must measure the loss. | |
With the wild in their eyes, it is they who must die, | |
And it's we who must measure the cost. |

And you say that the battle is over, | |
And you say that the war is all done | |
Go tell it to those with the wind in their nose | |
Who run from the sound of the gun, | |
And write it on the sides of the great whalingships, | |
Or on ice floes where conscience is tossed | |
With the wild in their eyes, it is they who must die | |
And it' s we who must measure the loss. | |
And you say that the battle is over, | |
And finally the world is at peace | |
You mean no one is dying, and mothers don' t weep, | |
Or it' s not in the papers, at least. | |
There are those who would deal in the darkness of life, | |
There are those who would tear down the sun, | |
And most men are ruthless, but some will still weep | |

It' s become such a part of the race | |
It' s eternally tragic for that which is magic | |
To be killed at the end of the glorious chase. | |
From young seals to great whales, | |
From waters to woods, | |

With fur coats, and perfumes, and trophies on walls: | |
What a hell of a race to call men. | |
And you say that the battle is over, | |
And you say that the war is all done | |
Go tell it to those with the wind in their nose | |

And write it on the sides of the great whalingships, | |

With the wild in their eyes, it is they who must die, | |
And it' s we who must measure the loss. | |
With the wild in their eyes, it is they who must die, | |
And it' s we who must measure the cost. |
