Lyrics

V1:
Distant thunder
On an even day
Draws my mind back
To a thousand yards

Another life
Where boys were drawn
Into oblivion
By dint of war

C1:
Whether we die in trenches
Or with wives beside us
Even in better men it lingers on
Whether our wounds release us
Or landscape defeat us
I sleep beneath the shadow of your wings

V2:
Hold the line, lads
Stand in the gap
Their wolves are almost upon us

Another night
The mind is drawn
Into horizons
Opposing dawn

C2:
Whether we lie in Belgium
Or England asunder
Even in braver souls it lingers on
Whether the mud defeat us
Or landscape deceive us
I kneel beneath the shadow of your wings

Outro:

Hear the fallen through the wire:
"Where are kings and empires now?"
"Night throws us back"
"Do I wander?..."
