Dailg - Nobody Wins Lyrics

In the shadow of the valley where the wildflowers grow
Stood a mother with her child eyes cast low
Soldiers marching drums that echo through the wind
She whispers softly "In war nobody wins"

Oh the rifles roar like thunder the cannons light the sky
Fathers brothers fall; nobody knows why
Through the tears and the blood the pain begins
And the heart of the valley sighs "Nobody wins"

Across the river on the banks so steep and wide
A young man holds a letter feeling the divide
Words of love from a heart that's pinned
Between the lines it reads "In war nobody wins"

Oh the rifles roar like thunder the cannons light the sky
Mothers sisters weep; nobody knows why
From the ashes and the smoke the sorrow spins
And the voice of the river cries "Nobody wins"

Underneath the starlit sky an old soldier knows
The cost of peace where the silent river flows
Battles fought the ghostly hymns
Whisper through the trees "In war nobody wins"
"Nobody wins"

In the quiet of the dawn when the fighting ceased
The land lay bare the clamoring had decreased
A silence fell as the new day begins
A solemn reminder that nobody wins

Oh the rifles have grown silent the skies are clear and blue
The world keeps turning but the scars remain true
As the sun sets and the night thins
Echoes fade into the wind "In war nobody wins"
Just the echo of the wind "In war nobody wins"
