Peace Time

As the last of the Great War soldiers hear their bell
They take away all they taught us about hell
And in our minds we just see dust and mud and ruin
But don't mistake that fossil
Cos it's not the truth

They built the walls
And they placed us all within
With brothers from the other lands
In binds of mutual compromise
It's like a marriage
Where the vows have worn too thin
We can blame the ring
But it's the finger that's changed size

They give us a minute to think of sacrifice
But glory, death and heroes is all that fills the space
What was offered up in battle is not the lesson we should heed
If we really want the peace
It's sacrifice in peace time that we need

I built the walls
To keep your love within
With other me-s and other you-s
Cast aside to die
But like a marriage
Where the vows have worn too thin
We can blame the ring
But it's the finger that changed size

If we really want the peace
It's sacrifice in peace time that we need
