So Far Away

A sensitive time approaches just before dawn

That carries them further to nowhere

The fields will be gorged upon the sacrifice made

Despite all their efforts to take care

There's no talk about anyone

Lying out in the rain

They're quite certain to carry on

Though it's clearly insane

So please don't praise

Those mindless games

With reckless claims

Of glory and fame

Talons of steel will seek them out on the day

Intent upon venting it's fury

Onward they move and with complete disregard

Of danger while doing their duty

Still no talk about anyone

Lying wounded in pain

Heart stops beating, is this the one

To carry somebody's name?

So please don't praise

Those mindless games

With reckless claims

Of glory and fame

Mighty and strong

So very young

There they will stay

So far away

A sensitive time approaches just before dawn

That carries them further to nowhere

The fields will be gorged upon the sacrifice made

Despite all their efforts to take care

Still no talk about anyone

Lying wounded in pain

Heart stops beating, is this the one

To carry somebody's name?

So please don't praise

Those mindless games

With reckless claims

Of glory and fame

Mighty and strong

So very young

There they will stay

So far away
