|
I just buried a friend |
|
He had come to the end |
|
But I can't help feeling that it needn't have been |
|
Caught in the flak |
|
There was no turning back |
|
So he gave up his life for some psychopath's dream |
|
So we're leaving the front |
|
Having taken the brunt |
|
Now we're tired of the slaughter in some foreign land |
|
So the leaders of the war |
|
They fight alone on the shore |
|
Our mutiny over they are left on the sand |
|
We stand as one |
|
We are an army now of many thousand strong |
|
They stand alone |
|
To fight for ravaged land to gain their worthless throne [Chorus:] |
|
The boys are coming home [Voiceover:] |
|
I see within my mind |
|
A vast and lonely plain |
|
Great armies meet in no man's land |
|
To clench their hands in friendship |
|
For the first time |
|
The dark tide is ebbing |
|
A mass of tired humanity drifting toward the dawn |
|
We are coming home |
