You Say the Battle Is Over - Bevan Gardiner[00:00:00]
Composer:D. Mallett[00:00:04]
And you say that the battle is over[00:00:09]
FInally the war is all done[00:00:13]
Go tell it to those[00:00:17]
With the wind in their nose[00:00:19]
Who run from the sound of the gun[00:00:20]
And write it on the sides[00:00:24]
Of the great whaling ships[00:00:26]
Or on ice floes where conscience is tossed[00:00:28]
With the wind in their eyes[00:00:32]
It is they who must die[00:00:34]
And we who must measure the loss[00:00:36]
And you say that the battle is over[00:00:41]
And finally the world is at peace[00:00:45]
You mean no one is dying[00:00:49]
And mothers don't weep[00:00:51]
Or it's not in the papers at least[00:00:53]
There are those who would deal[00:00:57]
In the darkness of life[00:00:58]
There are those who would tear down the sun[00:01:00]
And most men are ruthless[00:01:04]
But some will still weep[00:01:06]
When the gifts we were given are gone[00:01:08]
For the blame cannot rest[00:01:18]
On the heads of a few[00:01:19]
It's become such a part of the race[00:01:21]
It's eternally tragic[00:01:25]
That which is magic[00:01:27]
Be killed at the end of the glorious chase[00:01:29]
From young seals to great whales[00:01:34]
From waters to wood[00:01:36]
They will fall just like weeds in the wind[00:01:38]
With perfumes and fur coats[00:01:41]
And trophies on walls[00:01:43]
What a hell of a race to call men[00:01:45]
And you say that the battle is over[00:01:55]
Finally the war is all done[00:01:59]
Go tell it to those[00:02:02]
With the wind in their nose[00:02:04]
Who run from the sound of the gun[00:02:06]
And write it on the sides[00:02:10]
Of the great whaling ships[00:02:12]
Or on ice floes where conscience is tossed[00:02:14]
With the wind in their eyes[00:02:17]
It is they who must die[00:02:19]
And we who must measure the loss[00:02:21]
With the wind in their eyes[00:02:25]
It is they who must die[00:02:27]
And we who will measure the cost[00:02:29]
