Moon, how it falls in the field down among us
Rain falls on the king and his men on the riverbed
Now, now we meet, after all these years

Do you, my king, do you remember me?
"Yeah, I see your face before me now..."

And I'm telling you tonight that I know we belong beyond this life
The war has taken its turn and it ain't never turning back

I grew to be a man, a man who grew to be a king
Got a job at the mill, and when the war came I signed up for you
Every day now I send a letter to the people back home

Oh, I bet you long for the life that you led
Me, myself, I've got nothing to lose but this war

And I'm telling you the war that I fought, it was wrong and we must die
And now the shells are hammering down on the riverbed

Drums roll and we must go, we must go, the enemy is upon us
Rise from your knee, and now pull to the bridge

Oh, brother don't turn 'cause I'm right behind you now
Go on, go on, on up from the riverbed
For I'm telling you the war that I fought, it was wrong and we must die
It doesn't matter much now anyway, tonight we unite

And when we're pushing through I turn around one last time
And through the fire and the rain I see the king's white flag
The king lives on, but everyone, everybody dies
