| Run they said to a promised land
|
| Run and find us a helping hand
|
| Don’t come back till the sun is gone
|
| Don’t come back till the war is won
|
| We all set out with our hearts in hand
|
| A cold wind covered up a line in the sand
|
| All so young
|
| Nothing to lose
|
| Pieces of silver and a dead mans shoes
|
| And oh do you know what I’m saying
|
| Strike a light to guide us Somewhere
|
| Tempest swells our worlds collide
|
| Arrows from above and the salt in our eyes
|
| Then as the sky began to bruise
|
| We all sought shelter from the breaking news
|
| Oh did I ever show you
|
| All the great memorials, all the factory floors
|
| And oh though you know I don’t know you
|
| Now that were here
|
| Let’s make them proud
|
| On and on and on and on and on and on we go
|
| Traipsing over bridges
|
| Over corpses down below
|
| And all the while we could have smiled
|
| For one thing on our minds
|
| The very thing you strive for
|
| Is the thing that makes you blind
|
| Run they said to a promised land
|
| Run and find us a helping hand
|
| Don’t come back till the sun is gone
|
| Don’t come back till the war is won
|
| Tempest high, stories tall
|
| Thought that we learnt nothing at all
|
| Then at last the day was saved
|
| With flowers borrowed from a dead friends grave
|
| And oh even still I don’t know you
|
| Maybe I’ll show you
|
| If you’ve eyes to see
|
| And so farewell
|
| And so farewell
|
| And so farewell
|
| And so farewell to it |
