Where do all the dead men go
|
From the battlefields?
|
Where are their exploded bones
|
Their useless swords and shields?
|
In the Hall of Ancient gods,
|
Are they now at piece,
|
Or are they fighting evermore
|
To earn their last release?
|
|
Midgard, Heaven, Kingdom Come
|
Are they all the same
|
Fallen heroes warriors
|
The valiant the slain
|
Did they beleive or did they die in vain?
|
|
Immortal dead, fathers and sons
|
When all is said and all is done,
|
Running for your life, dying for the cause
|
Pawns in the game
|
Voices from the war.
|
|
The men they march away to fight
|
Their fate is never clean
|
They never all come home again
|
To tell of what they've seen
|
In the battles bloody fury
|
Is the verdict just?
|
Executioner, judge and jury
|
Forgotten in the dust.
|
|
Valhalla Happy hunting ground
|
Are they all the same
|
Fallen heroes, warriors the valiant the slain.
|
Did they beleive or did they die ashamed?
|
|
Immortal dead, brothers and sons
|
All is said, all is done
|
Fighting to the death
|
What did they do it for?
|
Soldiers of the cross
|
Voices from the war.
|
|
The battlefields are silent now,
|
The graves all look the same
|
The crosses without number
|
And so many without names
|
In the battles misery
|
Drowned in blood and fear.
|
A hundred hundred thousand
|
For a hundred thousand years
|
|
Are they in a better place,
|
Or do they lie unclaimed,
|
The heroes, the deserters, the cowardly, the shamed
|
Did they know or did they die insane?
|
Mourn for the lost,
|
Stolen from their lives,
|
Gone before their time
|
No chance to say goodbye,
|
Fighting to the death
|
How could they be so sure?
|
Voices from the grave,
|
Voices from the war.
