Lyrics So Far Away - Magnum

So Far Away

A sensitive time approaches just before dawn
That carries them further to nowhere
The fields will be gorged upon the sacrifice made
Despite all their efforts to take care
There’s no talk about anyone
Lying out in the rain
They’re quite certain to carry on Though it’s clearly insane
So please don’t praise those mindless games
With reckless claims
Of glory and fame
Talons of steel will seek them out on the day
Intent upon venting it’s fury
Onward they move and with complete disregard
Of danger while doing their duty
Still no talk about anyone
Lying wounded in pain
Hearts stop beating is this the one
To carry somebody’s name
So please don’t praise those mindless games
With reckless claims
Of glory and fame
Mighty and strong
So very young
There they will stay
So far away
A sensitive time approaches just before dawn
That carries them further to nowhere
The fields will be gorged upon the sacrifice made
Despite all their efforts to take care
Still no talk about anyone
Lying wounded in pain
Hearts stop beating is this the one
To carry somebody’s name
So please don’t praise those mindless games
With reckless claims
Of glory and fame
Mighty and strong
So very young
There they will stay
So far away
