Two Armies

Stop me if you heard the one about the boy who lost his way
Walking through a field he came upon a girl
She told him of the night, when the planets fall
He sighed and said I'm after life
Two armies in a battle years ago were marching on a hill
They both believed that God was on their side
Through the fighting they lost their will
And way
She said the past will set you free
It's just a glorified looking glass to me
And if this evening was my last I would build my field of hope
And burn it down
They felt the season changing long before it came and stole the sun
The loss of color left them with the feeling that the future is an engine you can't outrun
She said the past will set you free
It's just a glorified looking glass to me
And if this evening was my last I would build my field of hope
And burn it down down down
She said the past will set you free
It's just a glorified looking glass to me
And if this evening was my last I would dig a hole of hope
Deep in the ground
She said the past will set you free
It's just a glorified looking glass to me
And if this evening was my last I would build my field of hope
And burn it down down down
They wave a flag in victory
At the parting play knows history
And if this battle was the last it would build our hate
A home, a home, it's burning down
