The Riverbed

Moon

How it falls on the field down among us

Rain

Falls on the king, and his men on the riverbed

Now

Now we meet after all these years

Do you my king, do you remember me?

Yeah, I see your face before me now

And I'm telling you tonight, that I know we belong

Beyond this life

The war has taken its turn, and it ain't ever turning back

I grew to be a man

A man who grew to be a king

Got a job at the mill

And when the war came

I signed up for you

Every day now

I send a letter to the people back home

Oh, I bet you long for the life that you lived

Me and myself I got nothing to lose but this war

And I'm telling you the war that I fought

It was wrong

And we must die

Well, now the shells are hammering down on the riverbed

Drums roll

And we must go

We must go, the enemy is upon us

Rise from your knee

And now, pull to the bridge

Oh, brother don't turn, cause I'm right behind you now

Go on, go on, on up from the riverbed

For I'm telling you the war that I fought

It was wrong

And we must die

It doesn't matter much now anyway

Tonight we unite

And when we're pushing through

I turn around one last time

And through the fire and the rain

I see the king's white flag

The king lives on

But everyone

Everybody dies
