Alone Lyrics

(Thunder, birds chirping, bomb blasts)

Hold me close until my fear subsides
Yah I might be the only one left alive
Oh pull me out of this sullen field. Yes

I might be too close

I might be too close

We're all alone
We are alone
But I don't know your location
So many ghosts have come and gone
They left a ringing in my ear
We are alive
The world is ice
This is a strange vocation
But I might be too close

I might be too close

I can feel you, Mother
Oh I'm so near you, Mother

We were all so brave on the outside
Oh we painted our very own meaning of love
In our letters of blood

Oh Yes

It goes so fast, like a bomb blast
The conviction of the righteous is gone

Yah it goes so fast, like a bomb blast
The conviction of the righteous is gone

Yah we are alone
We're all alone

But I don't know your location
So many ghosts they have come and gone
They left a ringing in my ear To put the blade to those you love
This is a strange vocation
I might be to close
I might be to close

I can feel you Mother
Oh I'm so near you Mother

We were all so brave on the outside
Oh we painted our very own meaning of love
In our letters of blood

(Bomb blasts)

Oh-ho Yes

We painted our very own meaning in letters of blood

(Bomb blasts)

I saw the frightened faces of the boys coming in for the kill
So many more of them left to cut down before we take that hill

And they said
"Any man here with a merciful thought in his head will be shot where he stands."
So we carried out faithfully, down to the letter, all of the Colonel's demands

All the Colonel's commands
Yah all of the Colonel's demands
And in the end we all knew we'd be getting what we got

To the devil by a hangman's rope with the whole wretched lot

(Helicopter, birds chirping)
