Battle hymns for the broken | |
Battle hymns for the misled | |
Battle hymns for the wretched | |
The forgotten and the dead | |
Battle hymns of redemption | |
Of solidarity and pride | |
Battle hymns we will be singing | |
At the turning of the tide | |
Can you explain to the mothers | |
And the fathers of those | |
Who come riding home in coffins | |
In their military clothes | |
Shiny medals pinned | |
To their dead teenage chests | |
While the trumpets blare | |
And you lie your best | |
So ask all you want | |
From the dusk til the dawn | |
The answer's still no | |
'Cause brother I'm gone | |
Battle hymns for the broken | |
Battle hymns for the misled | |
Battle hymns for the wretched | |
The forgotten and the dead | |
Battle hymns of redemption | |
Of solidarity and pride | |
Battle hymns we will be singing | |
At the turning of the tide | |
Can you explain away the sleight of hand | |
And the criminality | |
Of spending souls for oil | |
Well in the mirror I can see | |
I am the path that leads down | |
I am a dark and bloody hall | |
I'm the reaper, executioner | |
Hangman, judge, and the law | |
So tie a yellow ribbon | |
Round the oak tree on the lawn | |
But the cavalry's not comin' | |
'Cause brother they're gone | |
Battle hymns for the broken | |
Battle hymns for the misled | |
Battle hymns for the wretched | |
The forgotten and the dead | |
Battle hymns of redemption | |
Of solidarity and pride | |
Battle hymns we will be singing | |
At the turning of the tide | |
So I'm sharpening my shovel | |
I'm firing the kiln | |
I'm blind and I am purposeful | |
A martyr on the hill | |
The dream you might be dreaming | |
Might be someone else's dream tonight | |
I'm the whisperer of misgivings | |
I'm the fading tail light | |
I'm the call for retribution | |
From the back of the smoke filled hall | |
I'm the vow of bitterness | |
I'm the poison in the well | |
I've a photographic memory | |
Of the deeds I will avenge | |
I'm the cold in the river hollow | |
I've a hatpin, I've a plan | |
I don't care of cause or consequence | |
Head shaved and body lean | |
I'm the go-getter, the score settler | |
I'm the shadow on the green | |
There's a flock of blackbirds flying | |
Nearly ten thousand strong | |
Who set off this morning | |
And brother they're gone | |
Battle hymns for the broken | |
Battle hymns for the misled | |
Battle hymns for the wretched | |
The forgotten, for the dead | |
Battle hymns of redemption | |
Of solidarity and pride | |
Battle hymns we will be singing | |
At the turning of the tide |
