Lyrics

Dust swirls in a silent town The windows names that we lay down No-one wins when the wires hung We sing when the bullets come Rusted bells ring down the hill Ashes fall and time stands still Marching orders, paper thin Truth got lost in the howling Driftwood soldiers float away Time is turning, night meets day Peace is heavy, war is blind Leave the echoes far behind Signals flashing in the trees Broken oaths float on the breeze Statues crumble, no ones crown Only ghost in sacred ground Driftwood soldiers float away We don't have the price to pay Sing like fire, breathe like rain Don't come walking back again Hollow drums, fast unwind We trade steel, for gentler minds No more chains, no parade Just froze where the war... was made
