Dogtired shadows bent down at dusk
Trampled grass was playing dead
A billion broken boedies lay seek and release
We let them sleep on a riverbed

Take me back
Back to war
Don´t take me for granted, no
It´s brutal
Cold and relentless
Wound me and give me scars
So you can mend it, oooh
Be brutal, so there can be tenderness

And then the marching bands would come
Playing there songs while they dragged along the wounded
Crying oud covered in mud
My mouth felt warm with there own blood
A promise made to settle down with me
Forever on the battleground with me
Taking hostage, taking care
But a war is a love and never fare with me

Take me back
Back to war
Don´t take me for granted, no
It´s brutal
Cold and relentless
Wound me and give me scars
So you can mend it, oooh
Be brutal, so there can be tenderness

Oooooh, hmm hmmmm

Take me back
Back to war
Don´t take me for granted, no
It´s brutal
Cold and relentless
Wound me and give me scars
So you can mend it, oooh
Be brutal, so there can be tenderness
