lirik lagu chris hickey - another war
[verse 1]
rebels point their loaded causes
into windows where you breathe
they don’t grieve the empty losses
and they don’t stay to see you bleed
silent threats they scream in the night
and the wind cries out in funereal tones
you kneel down and pray for the light
‘cause darkness of room won’t leave you alone
[chorus]
conversation on our porches
dead man lying at our back door
while the blind men carry torches
to light the way for another war
[verse 2]
schoolboy dressed in battle fatigues
has some ancient theory to defend
he just got finished playing make believe
now he’s trading stories with the men
a loyal soldier knows his order
and takes his promise to the grave
the battle rages on the border
and we send money in freedom’s name
[chorus]
conversation on our porches
dead man lying at our back door
while the blind men carry torches
to light the way for another war
[bridge]
more and more black boots on stakes
in front of houses filled with tears
we can learn from our mistakes
or just let them pass away with the years
[verse 3]
the soldier plays a bamboo flute
a song he used to sing at home
for a fifteen year old prostitute
and teaches her to sing along
the song sounds like a lullaby
she sings the words of quiet love
they could sing that song all night
but a knock on the door says time is up
[chorus]
conversation on our porches
dead man lying at our back door
while the blind men carry torches
to light the way for another war
conversation on our porches
dead man lying at our back door
while the blind men carry torches
to light the way for another war
