What price for ghosts of armies Laid bare in your republic? This is a song about a hundred and sixty-two year war It slow-beats on its nations This sunlight stains the day long Its shadow stretches from here It's shaping what scares us
We will run from them They will run for us
Close my eyes, break us up To figure it out and start again Who has won this battle Who has won the battle? We are day And the day will recoil from the touch of the night
I can't see the things you really want me to I'll see it another day.
