Maggie's Flock Lyrics
"Battle Song"

We settle 'round the campfire
The night's about to fall
It's quiet at the front
There is no trouble here at all
The enemy on the other side
Withdrawn into their hiding place
My brothers to my left and right
They helped me trough the past few days

With our hands upon the law
We swore allegiance to the land
Bravely obeying all the orders
We'll go forward, gun in hand
Unwritten words unwritten letters
Concealed pain and untold fears
We carry letters from our families
Drenched in faded ink and bitter tears

We're just fodder for the cannons
We're just puppets for the crown
Shoulder tot shoulder my brothers
Never let each other down
I guess our minds will never be
Just like they ever were before
With only battle drums and rusty guns
You'll never win a war

We're just fodder for the cannons
We're just puppets for the crown
Shoulder tot shoulder my brothers
Never let each other down

I guess our minds will never be
Just like they ever were before
With only battle drums and rusty guns
We'll fight this bloody war
