Ballad of a Dead Man

The moon lights up over the battlefield now With a blistering heat somehow Lifeless limp and broken hearts are dead They should have just stayed home instead Stayed alive When letter arrives It glistens mother's eyes She wonders where when and why She could have tucked him in his bed With a kiss on a cheek and his head Where he'd still lie Well the moon and the stars Can't cast shadows on what is wrong Well my boys are dead, they've been mislead Nothing more The sun wakes up, brings sparkles in the morning light Rubs her belly, bows her head to cry She lost him before they were wed But he's there in her heart and her head, he'll stay alive Oh the moon and the stars can't cast shadows on what is wrong Well my boys are dead, they've been mislead Nothing more Well the moon and the stars can't cast shadows on what is wrong Well my boys are dead, they've been mislead Nothing more Well the moon lights up over the battlefield now
