Have we been here before?
We have been here before, I know
I've seen those twisted branches
The scavengers are circling
But all that I've done
Is just carry on
We ain't got no home no more
And we've come so far to turn back now
We walk along
Calloused and dry
No memory left of what came before
Our boots are worn, and our hearts have been tried
It began years before
It will be years before we're done
Your sons are shifting in the trenches
With prayer all encompassing
Roll out those big guns
And turn this tired soil
This doesn't look like home no more
And they've gone to far, can't turn back now
We walk along
Calloused and dry
No memory left of what came before
Our boots are worn, and our hearts have been tried
Mark where we've been account for where we die
And let this desert's empty canvas
Swallow us on this stark black night
If where we've been counts for more
Than where we die
Then let this desert's empty canvas
Swallow us on this stark black night
