New Depression
MoonHow it falls on the field down among usRainFalls on the king and his men on the riverbedNowNow we meet after all these years
Do you my king, do you remember meYeah, I see your face before me nowAnd I'm telling you tonight that I know we belongBeyond this lifeThe war has taken its turn and it ain't ever turning back
I grew to be a manA man who grew to be a kingGot a job at the millAnd when the war cameI signed up for you
Every day, nowI send a letter to the people back homeOh, I bet you long for the life that you ledMe and myself, I got nothing to lose but this warAnd I'm telling you the war that I foughtIt was wrongAnd we must dieWell now the shells are hammering down on the riverbed
Drums rollAnd we must goWe must go, the enemy is upon usRise from your kneeAnd now, pull to the bridge
Oh, brother don't turn, 'cause I'm right behind you nowGo on, go on, on up from the riverbedFor I'm telling you, the war that I foughtIt was wrongAnd we must dieIt doesn't matter much now anyway, tonight we unite
And when we're pushing throughI turn around one last timeAnd through the fire and the rainI see the king's white flagThe king lives onBut everyoneEverybody dies
