lyrics

The leafless trees bear witness
To the bloodstained fields of snow
Just like watercolours weeping
Into the frozen earth below
Like memories that fade with time
And stories that cease to be
When there's no one left to tell the tales
That shape our history

In the Winterland
Where the poppies grow
Give me the opium
'Cause the pain - is hurting so

As they packed them off for Christmas
They didn't have much say
Armed with a bar of chocolate
They were on their merry way
Never to return back home
Never to grow old
Never to feel the sun again
Always feeling the cold

And as they march again
Through pastures new
Following last orders
We watch history repeat itself
But now they take their daughters
Fighting for a land that will not be saved
From helping me to ease my pain
Fighting for another Godforsaken land
Freezing in the fire
Shivering from the cold
Missing everyone
Aching to come home
