dispatch - the general lyrics

there was a decorated general with a heart of gold
that likened him to all the stories he told
of past battles won and lost and legends of old
a seasoned veteran in his own time
on the battlefield he gained respectable fame
with many metals of bravery and stripes to his name
he grew a beard as soon as he could to cover the scars on his face
and always urged his men on

but on the eve of great battle with the infantry in dream
the old general tossed in his sleep and wrestled with it’s meaning
he awoke from the night just to tell what he had seen
and walked slowly out of his tent

all the men held tall with their chests in the air
with the courage in their blood and a fire in their stare
and it was a gray morning and they all wondered how they would fare
till the old general told them to go home

chorus:
he said,
i have seen the others and i have discovered that this fight is not worth fighting
and i’ve have seen their mothers and i will no other to follow me where i’m going

so, take your shower, shine your shoes
you got no time to lose
you are young men you must be living
take your shower, shine your shoes
well, you got no time to lose
you are young men you must be living
go now you are forgiven

but the men stood fast with their guns on their shoulders
not knowing what to do with the contradicting orders
the general said he would do his own duty
but he would extend it no further
the men could go as they pleased
but not a man moved their eyes gazed straight ahead
till one by one they stepped back and not a word was said
and the old general was left with his own words echoing in his head
he then prepared to fight

chorus
he said,
i have seen the others and i have discovered that this fight is not worth fighting
and i’ve have seen their mothers and i will no other to follow me where i’m going

go now you are forgiven
go now you are forgiven
go now you are forgiven
go now you are forgiven
