Blood, Sweat & Tears - The Battle Lyrics
While the king and queen lie sleepingAnd their daughters smile so nice.Brothers wait through windowsAnd the peasants die for rice.And here I'm standing *****Laughing madly at the sun.Though I wanted to sleep late todayThe Battle's just begun.Oh, the Devil in all his wisdomThe father in all his graceThe servant's sons are washed in bloodAnd the man has run his raceA moving target looms behind the street where soldiers stoodSiren screams out desperatelyLike only humans couldAnd standing on my balconyI watch the battle runYes the war is never overBut the day is never doneOh, the Devil in all his wisdom,The father in all his grace,The servant's sons are washed in bloodAnd the man has run his race.Six-white horses like the wind are running,Five are far behindThe captain lost his daughter,The sergeant lost his mind.The soldiers they still scream for richesEven though they sworeThat sons and daughters wouldn't liveUnless we won the war.Oh, the Devil in all his wisdom,The father in all his grace,The servant's sons are washed in bloodAnd the man has run his race.
