Across the border, in the early morning mist Comes creeping the silence of the dawn The night before a bloody war In a land that now lies torn And all the people stand and stare At the bodies on the shore. A general sits and works it out How to kill ten thousand more… How to kill ten thousand more.
And as the sun breaks through the clouds I get the feeling something’s going down I lose myself in the middle of the crowd And I only hope I won’t be found.
And all the people stand and stare At the bodies on the shore A general sits and works it out How to kill ten thousand more How to kill ten thousand more And all the people stand and stare At the bodies on the shore A general sits and works it out How to kill ten thousand more How to kill ten thousand more.
