Going to War
The last words have been spoken
It's time for us to go
See the broken arrows
What story have they told?
The only life is birdsong
Now that everybody's gone
Call and answer signals
With no fortune or respect
See the eyes keeping gaze on us
With beauty now bereft
Our son, our saviour
Straying from the road
With no aims of corruption
There's swansong to be had
And jeering from bystanders
Watch the wretched fall
In tumbleweeds scattering beyond
Stop this for mercy's sake
Give us a new direction
Give us a new direction
Going to war over this and that
Lead me away from the distant past
Give me direction from disfigurement
And all that is entailed when we go to war
Going to war over this and that
Lead me away from the distant past
Give me direction from disfigurement
And all that is entailed when we go to war
Give us a new direction
It's time for us to go
See the broken arrows
What story have they told?
The only life is birdsong
Now that everybody's gone
Call and answer signals
With no fortune or respect
See the eyes keeping gaze on us
With beauty now bereft
Our son, our saviour
Straying from the road
With no aims of corruption
There's swansong to be had
And jeering from bystanders
Watch the wretched fall
In tumbleweeds scattering beyond
Stop this for mercy's sake
Give us a new direction
Give us a new direction
Going to war over this and that
Lead me away from the distant past
Give me direction from disfigurement
And all that is entailed when we go to war
Going to war over this and that
Lead me away from the distant past
Give me direction from disfigurement
And all that is entailed when we go to war
Give us a new direction
