lyrics

Dead soldiers leave secrets
on white crosses
they spread like daisies
in the meadow

Their skeletons have wasted
now mourning the time spent
surviving the trenches
of a long long time ago

and I'm trying not to lose my mind
well lord, I'm trying

Gunshots pierce the sunset
they don't grasp the concept
the sun will return
and it's always shining

In those quite lonely hours
where the rain feeds the flowers
their bloody horses
are cleansed

and I'm trying not to lose my mind
well lord, I'm trying

A steam train is howling
smoke trails the horizon
thunder rolls
all through the hills

I'm laying here shaken
with my eyes towards the heavens
praying to nothing
that no-one prays from me

and I'm not to lose my mind
well lord, I'm trying
