Battle Scars (feat Willy Mason) Songtext

By a man whose children who built the castles made of stone



There's a man in the sky

Giving reasons why

That line grows deeper like these shackles round our bones



Move on to my own

Here come battle scars

It's the final charge

Here come battle scars


There's a child born

To a land of scorn

Sneaks past the borders and the lords that hold his hand



He was led like a lamb

All part of the plan

This castle crumbles as he walks out of this land



Move on to my own

Here come battle scars

It's the final charge

Here come battle scars



This is what we own

Here come battle scars

This is where we are

Here come battle scars



There's no path to follow (x 3)



Living for the reasons of the dead

that moved to paper from their heads

into my fingers and my deadly

view is strangled by the rent

I have no purpose in this land

have I forgotten how to stand

up

with the humor and the need

I've got to find a way to be



I just turn up the stereo

I can't survive without the cold

This culture's fallen off its feet

I've got to find a brand new beat



beat (beat) beat

beat (beat) beat

beat (beat) beat





There's a road ahead

'tween the live and dead

Church bells are ringing like the panic in my head



Step, step, one by one

Walk into the setting sun

Water's rising, rising fast

History catching up at last



Danger ahead, death behind

No one to follow but old man time



Time, time, take us back

before the line was drawn

Before the sky turned black
