War Poem

Silence falls on no-mans land To echo on uncertain footsteps Sharp of iron quick of hand Advancing forward to regrets Under foot the and mortars Slip away the codes of warnings From the top the barking orders Light the sky and leave that morning CHORUS Seek asylum from the terror Reaching out for what its worth Shelter from the raging anger Raining down on bitter worlds Those the people all whose hurting Getting lost between the lines Its the stuff that keeps returning Laughing lound in victors lies Up above on winds declaring Soon the cold will whistle through Push aside the warm sea air That fills the sails that carry you CHORUS X3 Many miles are put between oh What once was and what will be Sleep all night and dream sweet dreams Step inside to history Every whisper sings resistance All emotions hide inside Refugee looks to the distance Out there somewhere lies his pride CHORUS --- War Poem - UB40
