Lay down where the medals weep
Then I heard the thoughts that we dare not speak
Like wicked words amongst the trees
Old promises that we could not keep
And when the hands run out of time
And the trumpet softly blows
Play a song inside my mind
And I'll have to let it go
Winter came and broke our bones
Left us here with nowhere to belong
Years go by wrapped in a coated blue
Snow fell down on the avenue
When the hang men reached the gallows
Then the trumpet softly blow
Play a song so full of sorrows
Then I'll have to let it go
Lay me down where the medals weep
I heard the thoughts that we dare not speak
When the day came to a close
I cut the rope and let it go
It all ended in the darkness
And the trumpet softly blow
Play a song full of sadness
Then I had to let it go
