Dreadnoughts

Dreadnoughts - Foreign Skies lyrics

Your rating:

We are the men of sweat and steel

We are the men the world denies

So now we walk abandoned fields

Beneath these foreign skies



We're gonna join the bitter test

And though there's some will break and fall

There's nothing here but happiness

And duty's restless call



So it calls, but only to the chosen

To the boys who landed at Liege



Meet me at the station

In the glory of the sun

Into the arms by which the world was won



Come on and wipe away your tears

And the memories bright and gay

The laughter of unclouded years

Will slowly bleed away



Staring at the stars above

Underneath these foreign skies

We've never been so happy love

In all our goddamned lives



All our lives, have been for nought and wasted

All our lives, soon to be redeemed



Meet me at the station

With a banner and a grin

We'll watch the sun go down

On old Berlin



And when it was done and we'd carried the day

I watched her life's blood go slipping away

And I stared down, into her cold blue eyes



Sweet mother Mary, deliver your grace

Deliver us all from the look on her face

And the screams

The long and desperate sighs



All our lives

Have been a cruel secret

All our lives

A tender age in bloom



So I drink this final cup

And rest this weary head

And watch the waters rising up

To wash away the dead



And when we're rid of this disease

And we have won the prize

I never will return to these

Foreign skies
