What price for ghosts of armies
Laid bare in your republic?
This is a song about a hundred and sixty-two year war.
It slow-beats on its nations.
This sunlight stains the day long.
Its shadow stretches from here.
It’s shaping what scares us.
We will run from them.
They will run for us.
We will run from them.
Close my eyes, break us up
To figure it out and start again.
Who has won this battle? Who has won the battle?
(We are day and the day will recoil from the touch of
the night.)
We will run from them.
They will run for us.
We will run from them.
Close my eyes, break us up
To figure it out and start again
Who has won this battle? Who has won the battle?
(We are day and the day will recoil from the touch of
the night.)
I can’t see the things you really want me to.
I can’t see the things you really want me to.
I’ll see it another day. (4x)
