No Man's Land Letra

he was my brother born the day I lefthe took the mother lode and I took the rest he was a fighter, he was always in controlhe kept a candle burning way down in his soulshots fired in anger and a widow cries alonejust one more mother's son who won't be coming homethey speak in whispers there are riders to the east the blind man says mister bring a bottle and a priest that's the way it always goesthat's the way it's always beenwho you are or what you knowyou're like a feather in the windlet the river wash you awayreach the river if you canpast the blue and past the grey all the way, all the wayall the way to no man's landthere was no shelter there was nowhere left to runthey came like eagles screaming down out of the sun I heard the whistle sound the engine pulled awayI saw my brother down and I left him where he laysome fight for honor there are those that fight for goldsome die believing all the fairy tales they're toldthere are no heroes and there is no marching bang there are no miracles down here in no man's land that's the way it always goesthat's the way it's always beenwho you are or what you knowyou're like a feather in the windlet the river wash you awayreach the river if you canpast the blue and past the grey all the way, all the wayall the way to no man's land(let the river wash away)(let the river wash away) that's the way it always goesthat's the way it's always beenwho you are or what you knowyou're like a feather in the windlet the river wash you awayreach the river if you canpast the blue and past the grey all the way, all the wayall the way to no man's land(let the river wash away) let the river wash away(let the river wash away) let the river wash away(let the river wash away) let the river wash away let the river wash away let the river wash away
