Into the Valley

Into the valley

Betrothed and divine

Realizations no virtue

But who can define

Why soldiers go marching

Those masses a line

This disease is catching

From victory to stone

Ahoy! Ahoy! Land, sea and sky

Ahoy! Ahoy! Boy, man and soldier

Ahoy! Ahoy! Deceived and then punctured

Ahoy! Ahoy! Why should they die?

Out of concealment

Blank and stark eye

This culture deceives

Prophesied, brainwashed

Tomorrow's demise

All systems failing

The placards unroll

Ahoy! Ahoy! Land, sea and sky

Ahoy! Ahoy! Boy, man and soldier

Ahoy! Ahoy! Deceived and then punctured

Ahoy! Ahoy! Why should they die?

It's time for the audit

The gathering trial

From Baghdad to Baghram

They march and still go

Will we find courage

To stand and say no

A collector's dilemma

Repositioned and filed

Ahoy! Ahoy! Land, sea and sky

Ahoy! Ahoy! Boy, man and soldier

Ahoy! Ahoy! Deceived and then punctured

Ahoy! Ahoy! Why should they die?

Into the valley

Betrothed and divine

Realizations no virtue

But who can define

Why soldiers go marching

Those masses a line

This disease is catching

From victory to stone

La-La-La-La-La-La-La-La

Into the valley

Into the valley
