Album: State of Grace
[Originally by The Skids]
Into the valley
Bethrothed and divine
Realisations no virtue
But who can define
Why soldiers go marching
Those masses a line
This disease is catching
From victory to stone
Ahoy! Ahoy! Land, sea and sky
Ahoy! Ahoy! Boy, man and soldier
Ahoy! Ahoy! Deceived and then punctured
Ahoy! Ahoy! Why should they die?
Out of concealment
Blank and stark eye
This culture deceives
Prophesised, brainwashed
Tomorrow's demise
All systems failing
The placards unroll
Ahoy! Ahoy! Land, sea and sky
Ahoy! Ahoy! Boy, man and soldier
Ahoy! Ahoy! Deceived and then punctured
Ahoy! Ahoy! Why should they die?
It's time for the audit
The gathering trial
From Baghdad to Bagram
They march and still go
Will we find courage
To stand and say no
A collector's dilemma
Repositioned and filed
Ahoy! Ahoy! Land, sea and sky
Ahoy! Ahoy! Boy, man and soldier
Ahoy! Ahoy! Deceived and then punctured
Ahoy! Ahoy! Why should they die?
Into the valley
Bethrothed and divine
Realisations no virtue
But who can define
Why soldiers go marching
Those masses a line
This disease is catching
From victory to stone
La-La-La-La-La-La-La-La
Into the valley
Into the valley
Into the valley
Into the valley
