Battlefield Lyrics
Clear the battlefield and let me see
All the profit from our victory.
You talk of freedom, starving children fall.
Are you deaf when you hear the seasons call?
Were you there to watch the earth be scorched?
Did you stand beside the spectral torch?
Know the leaves of sorrow turned their face,
Scattered on the ashes of disgrace.
Every blade is sharp; the arrows fly
Were the victims of your armies lie,
Where the blades of grass and arrows reign
Then there will be very little sorrow,
Very little pain.
Confusion...will be my epitaph
As I cross a cracked and broken path
If we make it, we can all sit back and laugh.
All the profit from our victory.
You talk of freedom, starving children fall.
Are you deaf when you hear the seasons call?
Did you stand beside the spectral torch?
Know the leaves of sorrow turned their face,
Scattered on the ashes of disgrace.
Were the victims of your armies lie,
Where the blades of grass and arrows reign
Then there will be very little sorrow,
Very little pain.
As I cross a cracked and broken path
If we make it, we can all sit back and laugh.

Everyone gets these lyrics wrong. The correct line in the 3rd verse is "Were the blades of grass and arrows rain"
Starving children FULL not fall.
It's "Stopping Children Fall." That makes sense with the rest of the lyrics.
