Foreign Skies |
We are the men of sweat and steel |
We are the men the world denies |
So now we walk abandoned fields |
Beneath these foreign skies |
We’re gonna join the bitter test |
And though there’s some will break and fall |
Where there’s nothing here but happiness |
And duty’s restless call |
So it calls, but only to the chosen |
To the boys who landed at Liège |
Meet me at the station |
In the glory of the sun |
Into the arms by which the world was won |
Come on and wipe away your tears |
And the memories bright and gay |
The laughter of unclouded years |
Will slowly bleed away |
Staring at the stars above |
Underneath these foreign skies |
We’ve never been so happy love |
In all our goddamned lives |
All our lives, have been for naught and wasted |
All our lives, soon to be redeemed |
Meet me at the station |
With a banner and a grin |
We’ll watch the sun go down |
On old Berlin |
And when it was done and we’d carried the day |
I watched her life’s blood go slipping away |
And I stared down, into her cold blue eyes |
Sweet mother Mary, deliver your grace |
Deliver us all from the look on her face |
And the screams |
The long and desperate sighs |
All our lives |
Have been a cruel secret |
All our lives |
A tender age in bloom |
So I drink this final cup |
And rest this weary head |
And watch the waters rising up |
To wash away the dead |
And when we’re rid of this disease |
And we have won the prize |
I never will return to these |
Foreign skies |
