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
