That'll be the end of the road
When my battered, embittered
Body and soul will go home
That'll be the end of the war
When we finally lay down
The barrel and the blade and go home
By the sea, so wide and treacherous
By the land, so dark and dangerous
How can we have so far to go?
That'll be the end of the law
Of bible, koran, torah, lost and gone
And the sea, so wide and treacherous
And the land, so dark and dangerous
How can we have so far to go?
That'll be the end of arms stretched wide
Of begging for bread, of emptiness inside
And the sea, so wide and treacherous
And the land, so dark and dangerous
So far left behind
That'll be the end of the war
When we finally lay down
The barrel and the blade and go home
