lyrics

When the war is finally over
I will lay it down across your shoulder
We'll scale that hill and jump the boulder
And plant that flag in it's rightful holder

Freedom will overcome us
We'll scream and holler to the skies above
'Cause we're not held down to the flag that owns us
We've planted in there and stay there it must

And my dreams did not consist of being this
Playing futile wars for such a futile cause
I never thought I'd have to come to living this
Death and guilt on my hands
Lost in the middle of no man's land

I remember in the stormy weather
The wait would feel like we were in it forever
With old steel hats and the straps of leather
I couldn't help feeling we were all together

The time would come when the crash and thunder
Of god know what drives us to trouble and blunder
As we go up go up and over
Who's left to survive we're left to wonder

And my dreams did not consist of being this
Playing futile wars for such a futile cause
I never thought I'd have to come to living this
Death and guilt on my hands
Lost in the middle of no man's land

And the time will come and we'll know it well yeah we'll know it well
The crash of the drums will follow us to the top of this hill
Raise it up for the world can see and signify it's over
When we've all just wasted our lives following a flag into war

And my dreams did not consist of being this
Playing futile wars for such a futile cause
I never thought I'd have to come to living this
Death and guilt on my hands
Lost in the middle of no man's land

And my dreams did not consist of being this
Playing futile wars for such a futile cause
I never thought I'd have to come to living this
Death and guilt on my hands
Lost in the middle of no man's land
