For the Coming War

Take the helm
You are the Captain of the ship
Your whole life has led to this
For the coming war

Steady boys
It’s time we separate the men
If you want to see your homes again
For the coming war

Gentleman put down your fear
Cause It won’t do you any good here
Through the waves of an angry sea
Lie soldiers stacked like leaves beneath a tree

And as the water breaks to waves
And our bodies burn to ashes
What will people say
As they bury empty caskets
No I never needed glory
I never wanted fame
I just had to tell my story
As you looked the other way
As I we were fighting to get home

Listen now
Cause every road has led to this
So gather every ounce of grit
For the coming war

Hold the line
Now all the fields are painted red
But there is no time to mourn the dead
For the coming war

Gentleman put down your fear
Cause It won’t do you any good here
Through the waves of an angry sea
Lie soldiers stacked like leaves beneath a tree



And as the water breaks to waves
And our bodies burn to ashes
What will people say
As they bury empty caskets
No I never needed glory
I never wanted fame
I just had to tell my story
As you looked the other way
As I was fighting to get home

And we’ll talk of how the war was won
As father work to bury sons
As the world moves on just like it always does

And we’ll talk of how the war was won
As father work to bury sons
As the world moves on just like it always does

And we’ll talk of how the war was won
As father work to bury sons
As the world moves on just like it always does

And we’ll talk of how the war was won
As father work to bury sons
As the world moves on just like it always does
