Testi
I met you in no man's land
A war I didn't understand
You smiled at me and took my hand
And then you lead me on
We walked through trenches filled with mud
Through rolls of barbed-wire stained with blood
Past young men cowering where they stood
Who just a quick were gone
The guns and shells not your concern
You're cursed to let the fires burn
And wonder if we'll ever learn
As we just prove to you we won't
And as I watched you standing there
Your face the picture of despair
I wondered if you're doomed to care
Cause it must seem to you we don't
And as the sun sets on the battlefield
And the moon rises in its stead
There stands a lonely, hooded figure
And he gently bows his head
I've traced your steps through burning streets
Rubble falling at our feet
Mothers cried and children screamed
And bombs rained from the sky
And as the artist took his knife
All of his colours drained of life
Rendered the scene in black and white
He didn't see you stood behind
And as the sun sets on the battlefield
And the moon rises in its stead
There stands a lonely, hooded figure
And he gently bows his head
I've followed you 'cross land and sea
Seen all the pain there is to see
You go to offer them reprieve
The only certainty we share
And as I watch you standing there
Your face the picture of despair
I hope that you're not doomed to care
Cause that'd be too much to bare
And as the sun sets on the battlefield
And the moon rises in its stead
There stands a lonely, hooded figure
And he gently bows his head
