Battle cries in the wind
Echoes on as the fight begins
Thunder rolls over broken plains
I feel a distant gun load the shell with my name

I’m just a man of flesh and blood
And soon they’ll have one less soldier
To march in time

Writing home to those it may concern
My hands are shaking for the boys
I know won’t return

I’m just a man of flesh and blood
And marching to a different drum

We go marching in time
You see we don’t remember
As we go marching through time
Now will we all be forgotten

Morning broke to cold light of day
The guns have stopped with no more to say
Silent tears and wounds that won’t heal
I can’t forget the pin it was all to real

I’m just a man of flesh and blood
And marching to a different drum

We go marching in time
You see we don’t remember
As we go marching through time
Now will we all be forgotten

I’ve seen the smoke from fields of fire
And crossed the lines that made me blind
Closing your eyes won’t stop the pain
Won’t buy me time to fight again

[Chorus]
