Clear the battlefield and let me see
|
All the profit from our victory.
|
You talk of freedom, starving children fall.
|
Are you deaf when you hear the season's call?
|
|
Were you there to watch the earth be scorched?
|
Did you stand beside the spectral torch?
|
Know the leaves of sorrow turned their face,
|
Scattered on the ashes of disgrace.
|
|
Every blade is sharp; the arrows fly
|
We're the victims of your armies' lie,
|
Where the blades of grass and arrows reign
|
Then there'll be no sorrow,
|
Be no pain.
