In the far away fires
where the hills forever burn
at the feet of our heroes
we try hard to learn
but the lesson is lost there
and the smoke and the mind
that we are one flesh
one breath
one life
one blood

I stood by the river
that ran red with sham
I stood in the killing field
where death had no name
I stood with my brothers
and away it flight
and we were one flesh
one breath
one life
one blood

and I felt to the ground
tasted ashes on my tongue
thinking that only the dead
are forever young

there was peace in the twilight
and for a moment amore
it was a world without danger
world without war
and I would take all your suffering
it would do any good
cause we are one flesh
one breath
one life
one flight
