Intro

Verse 1

Gunshots shatter in the peace of night

It's just another firefight

For the people of this little town

But for the dying soldier

Well he's feeling ten years older

As he's lying face down on the ground

All the words that are in his head

And all the words that his mother said

As she would put him to bed back home

Chorus

Your Daddy when he died in the Falklands

Fighting for another man's cause

And your brother he was killed in the last war

And your mother, well she's lying home alone

Verse two

Everyday she sees your face

On the picture on the fireplace

With your brother as he was leaving school

Then a day came five years ago

You said "Mother, I need to know"

And you spoke the words your brother spoke before

"I know the things my Daddy done

And I've seen the medals that he's won

And I know this is what he would have wanted for me

CHORUS

++++++

Bridge

Now she wonders at it all

Just in whose name, do these brave young heros fall

And how many more are gonna answer that call

They're gonna fight and die in another country's war

They're gonna die for a religion didn't believe in at all

They're gonna die in a place they should never been at all

Oh, never been at all

CHORUS

++++++

Lose yourself in the cresendo bit
