Time drifts through the sky
Without a reason why
We walk past the flowers
Don't stop for a breath
Until they're above our heads
We don't stop or rest until we're dead (flowers on the grave)
We used to fight
Have we made amends?
Father I just can't tell
Watching you spent the time you have left
Trapped in a cold blue bed
Talking about the effects after the war, injuries, comas, PTSD. These sicknesses last long after the conflict ends.
In darkness we'll rest
Count the days down to one last breath
In darkness we'll rest
So forgive what you can't forget
-Forgive what you can't forget, kind of self-explanatory. When I hear this, I immediately think of the Holocaust (which was a very evil thing I'm not saying it wasn't) and how Germany is so ashamed about their past.
We said that we would call
But we never spoke at all
The years drifted by
We've built up these walls
For reasons that seem so small
If this is the end, let's bury the past
This might be our one last chance
Together until the last grain of sand
Has dropped from the hourglass
losing contact with friends and family while in the war.
So open your eyes
Open your eyes and don't forget to pray
If we lose the fight
If we lose the fight your spirit will live through me
It's time we make right
It's time we make right the pages of history
Until we find
Until we find a cure for the enemy
make right the pages of history by stopping wars.
All those you've loved
All those who've died
All we have left is what lives in our minds
All those you've loved
All those who've died
I know their spirits are up in the sky
All those you've loved
All those who've died
All we have left is what lives in our minds
All those you've loved
All those who've died
I know their spirits are up in the sky
All those people you fought with and against are dead now.
So open your eyes
Open your eyes and don't forget to pray
If we lose the fight
If we lose the fight your spirit will live through me
It's time we make right
It's time we make right the pages of history
Until we find
Until we find a cure for the enemy
Cure for the enemy is about changing who is our enemies instead of killing or fighting them.
In darkness we'll rest
Count the days down to one last breath
In darkness we'll rest
So forgive what you can't forget
(In darkness we'll rest)
All those you've loved
(Count the days down to one last breath)
All those who've died
All we have left is what lives in our minds
(In darkness we'll rest)
All those you've loved
(So forgive what you can't forget)
All those who've died
I know their spirits are up in the sky
This song is anti-war
Time drifts through the sky Without a reason why We walk past the flowers Don't stop for a breath Until they're above our heads
We used to fight Have we made amends? Father I just can't tell Watching you spent the time you have left Trapped in a cold blue bed
