10000 Maniacs - Anthem For Doomed Youth Şarkı Sözleri
10000 Maniacs
| Şarkı Sözleri
[music: john lombardo/lyric: john lombardo adapts wilfred owen]
for whom the bells toll when sentenced to die the stuttering rifles will stifle the cry the monstrous anger the fear´s rapid rattle a desert inferno kids dying like cattle
don´t tell me we´re not prepared i´ve seen today´s marine he´s eighteen and he´s eager he can be quite mean
no mock´ries for them no prayers or bells the demented choirs the wailing of shells the boys holding candles on untraveled roads the fear spreads like fire as shrapnel explodes
i think it´s wrong to conscript our youth against their will when plenty of our citizenry really like to kill
what sign posts will lead to armageddon´s fires what bugles will call them from crowded grey shires the women sit quiet with death on their minds a slow dusk descending the drawing of blinds
make the hunters all line up it´s their idea of fun and let those be forgiven who never owned a gun was it him or me or the wailing of the dead the laughing soldiers cast their lots and you can cut the dread
