Mothers' Sons |
| We drink to those lost at sea |
| Who never made it off the beach |
| To those who won’t make it home |
| Buried in the salty deep |
| Mothers' sons that we knew so well |
| Without a care or a chance in hell |
| Laid a life on a line in harm’s way and out of mine |
| So their brothers could live to tell |
| So my brother could live to tell |
| «How the sky never looked so deep |
| With the moon shining down on me» |
| «I never known it before burning foreign shores |
| Boys in flak and trench, prayers to stave off death unheard» |
| «So old man pour another couple rounds on me |
| Keep 'em coming and the rye in reach» |
| «Be it shellshock or heartbreak |
| We’re all dying for a stiffer drink |
| Or dying on a line |
| No god there to hear our plea» |
| «We've been laid out and desperate |
| No blood here left to bleed» |
| We drink to those lost at sea |
| Who never made it off the beach |
| To those who won’t make it home |
| Buried in the salty deep |
| Mothers' sons that we knew so well |
| Without a care or a chance in hell |
| Laid a life on a line in harm’s way and out of mine |
| So their brothers could live to tell |
| So old man pour another couple rounds on me |
| Keep 'em coming and the rye in reach |
| Be it shellshock or heartbreak |
| Or dying on a line |
| No god there to hear our plea |
| We’ve been laid out and desperate |
| So my brother could live to tell |
| So my brother and I… |
