lyrics

What use has the peace for the millions of the dead?
(For) the millions of the living, stray in the ruins
(If you) don't have a place to lay down your head
(If you) don't have a place to bury your children

What is the use of the victory you claim
When your childen are maimed
The skin is scorched on their livid faces
You keep them away from sight

"If any questions why we died
Tell them, because our fathers lied!"

What use has the peace for the millions of the dead?
(For) the millions of the living, stray in the ruins
(If you) don't have a place to lay down your head
(If you) don't have a place to bury your children

Some die shouting by gas or fire
Some die silent, by shell and shot.
Some die desperate, caught on the wire;
Some die suddenly. This will not.

"If any questions why we died
Tell them, because our fathers lied!"

What use has the peace for the millions of the dead?
(For) the millions of the living, stray in the ruins
(If you) don't have a place to lay down your head
(If you) don't have a place to bury your children

What use has the peace for the millions of the dead?
(If you) don't have a place to bury your children?


Based on "A Death-Bed" by Rudyard Kipling
