martyn joseph - the fading of light lyrics
[verse 1]
camera phone’s last photograph
a frozen, handheld cenotaph
it’s like the somme without the mud
we try to edit out the blood
the roadside bomb, more squandered men
it’s desolation row again
for what then have they paid this price
as we shop in retail paradise?
[chorus]
it’s the fading of light
and all those sad songs
last post on the bugle
can’t change the wrong
it’s the fading of light
and the crooked schemes of men
confirm that the fallen
won’t be getting up again
[verse 2]
and abеl’s death is now routine
on brother cain’s computеr screen
his weapon’s fixed coordinates
removed our being, spilt our guts
you can k!ll one man, it’s homicide
you slay thousands, n0body’s tried
our leaders will not stand in court
to swear it was the dead that fought
[chorus]
it’s the fading of light
and all those sad songs
last post on the bugle
can’t change the wrong
it’s the fading of light
and the crooked schemes of men
confirm that the fallen
won’t be getting up again
[verse 3]
apocalyptic visionaries
these military missionaries
they stand apart, deny their sins
convinced annihilation wins
not even satire brings them shame
instead exaggerated fame
great big houses and lecture tours
the pride and the pity of all wars
[chorus]
it’s the fading of light
and all those sad songs
last post on the bugle
can’t change these wrongs
it’s the fading of light
the crooked schemes of men
confirm that the fallen
won’t be getting up again
confirm the nameless fallen
won’t be getting up again
