I remember the sun's clear light Pushing away the last trace of night As I awoke on the muddy plain Fireworks from the night before Like echoes from a distant war Rang in my ears and in my brain And from the hilltop I could see The ocean sparkling peacefully The ivory beach's crescent jewel inviting me Am I the last one left? Am I the last one left? And must I ride To catch the early tide And walk out, walk out, walk out Into the sea... Get down before the shooting begins Doesn't matter which side wins In endless rows the bayonets shining A sole ray of sunlight a moment defining Shoot! Shoot! The sergeant called from the rocky crest While a seagull winged its anxious way Across the sky to find a nest Explosion of anger crystallize Forgotten inner nature rise Letras de cancionesAnd blacken out the sun Stand, don't run Til dark among the hundreds left for dead I chew the leaden bullethead And turn my toes to the skies Try to close my eyes Mother where have you gone You didn't come home before dawn And I need to see your face Cause I don't know this place Lover I'm going away So many things I forgot to say I'll see you in the night In the golden firelight Coming round coming round Like a circle about to begin again Going down going down Gonna sleep with the fishes and forgotten men Coming round coming round Like a circle about to begin again Going down going down Into the sea...
