So, I wish,
so you think you can tell
heav en from hell, lost souls swim ming in a blue bowl, from pain.
year af ter year, Can you tell a green field run ning o ver the same from a cold, steel rail, What have we found?
a smile same from a (Am)fears.
do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade
your he roes for (D)ghosts,
hot ash es for trees,
hot air for a cool breeze,
cold com fort for charge?
And did you ex change
a walk on part in the war
for a lead role in a cage?
