Songs Title：the retreat[00:00:03]

They laid beneath the pine trees[00:00:18]

With their caps over their eyes[00:00:21]

They were drunk with home and[00:00:24]

Mama as they brushed away the flies[00:00:27]

In an instant before the sunrise[00:00:31]

They had gunned the rebels down[00:00:35]

As their flags were torn at half mast[00:00:39]

In the ruins of the town[00:00:42]

There were white sails on the water[00:00:46]

For the crippled on the beach[00:00:49]

There was a lack of ammunition[00:00:53]

So the cause was incomplete[00:00:57]

When the bugle blew at breakfast[00:01:00]

And they knew their ships were in[00:01:03]

Signs of grand assurance[00:01:07]

Were carried on the wind[00:01:10]

Take it home take it low take responsibilities[00:01:14]

Came the message from the front[00:01:21]

For the captains captains quarters must retreat[00:01:28]

Pack the compass pack the tents take the bunks[00:01:36]

They just chalked it down in history[00:01:43]

But they kept their uniforms[00:01:47]

They put their medals on the sideboards[00:01:50]

And they went back to their farms[00:01:54]

For it was just a mere reminder[00:01:57]

That they stood beside the best[00:02:01]

That God had saved the chosen few[00:02:05]

And the devil took the rest[00:02:08]

On the planes above the rock face[00:02:41]

Where the sculptured eagles swoop[00:02:45]

Theres a haunted yell for action[00:02:48]

Among the spectres of his troops[00:02:52]

It was silent on the coastline as[00:02:55]

The crazy angels danced[00:02:59]

With the sound of retreating footfall[00:03:02]

From his military camp[00:03:06]
