1948 - cavil at rest lyrics
you know as we close the ranks
we’re staring straight into the face
of a man about to lose his life, oh
tell me, is he afraid?
because the water’s never blue here, no
and in the morning mist, it’s grey
it’s like he’s stealing breath, hey (it’s like he’s stealing breath)
he’s stealing breath, hey
will this one be his last?
and all his badges are sown on
decorations for breaking and so on
but they only serve to remind him
just why he serves, why he’s fighting
hear me now, oh
before, before, before you’re gone
but you’re not dead yet so i guess she said you best
be on, be on, be on your toes
she said it best, she put it best
when she said, when she said
“could you imagine the entire city
covered in ashes, covered in ashes
and the branches sway, you could even say that it’s decided”
come on now, uh
have you gone on functioning without the sun?
did you function without the sun?
no harm done, no harm done
no harm done
now tell me did you find yourself saying
i give it ten years time
and these people that surround me
they won’t be friends of mine?
and did she wish you well as you stepped on that plane
and sent you on your way?
won’t you tell me now
did you miss her, did you miss her face?
one nine four eight, one nine four eight (one nine four eight)
one nine four eight, one nine four eight (one nine four eight)
one nine four eight, one nine four eight (one nine four eight)
one nine four eight, one nine four eight, come on!
now open your eyes
before, before, before you’re gone
but you’re not dead yet so i guess she said you best
be on, be on, be on your toes
she said it best, she put it best
before, before, before you’re gone
but you’re not dead yet so i guess she said you best
be on, be on, be on your toes
she said it best when she said did you find yourself saying
i give it ten years time
and these people that surround me
they won’t be friends of mine?
and did she wish you well as you stepped on that plane
and sent you on your way?
won’t you tell me now
do you miss her, do you miss her face?
one nine four eight, one nine four eight (one nine four eight)
one nine four eight
