about

After World War One, a cynical soldier returns from the trenches & hears church bells chiming, in celebration of victory

lyrics

The morning comes alive
with the sound of bells, chiming for victory
to justify the sacrifice of thirteen million lives

The morning comes alive
with the sound of guns & flashes in the sky
but this time it's only in my mind
in a gaurded part of my brain
that still resides in a shell-holed field of Picardie
with the poor lost souls we left behind
forever fighting a war that will not let me go

The morning comes alive
but I can't remember names of friends who have died
in a foreign land
fighting for a cause they can barely understand
ordered to march into the jaws of hell

Sometimes I cry
& remember friends I've known
remember friends who've died
