Battle Scars Songtext

put there by a man

by a man whos children built of castles made of stone



theres a man in the sky

giving reasons why

that line grows deeper like the shakles round our bones



hold on to my oath

here come battle scars

its the final charge
here come battle scars



theres a child born

to a land of scorn

stays past the borders and the lords that hold his hand



he was led like a lamb

all part of the plan

his castle crumbles as he walks out of his land



hold on to my oath

here come battle scars

its the final charge

here come battle scars



this is what we are

here come battle scars

this is where we are

here come battle scars



there's no path to follow

(there's no path to follow)

there's no path to follow



living for the reasons of the dead that move to paper from their heads into my fingers and my bed leaving me strangled by the rent I have no purpose in this land have I forgotten how to stand up with the humor and the need I've got to find a way to be I just turn up the stereo I can't survive without the gold this culture's falling off its feet I've got to find a man to be



theres a road ahead

between alive and dead

church bells are ringing like the panic in my head



step, step, one by one

walking to the setting sun

waters rising rising fast

history catching up at last



danger ahead

get behind

no one to follow but old man time

time, time take us down for the line was drawn 'fore the sky turn black
