Original theme & lyrics: Mark Knopfler

Originally performed by: Dire Straits



verse one:

These mist covered mountains

Are a home now for me

But my home is the lowlands

And always will be.

Some day you'll return to

Your valleys and your farms

And you'll no longer burn

To be brothers in arms.



verse two:

Through these fields of destruction

Baptism of fire

I've witnessed your suffering

As the battle raged higher.

And though they did hurt me so bad

In my fear and alarm

You did not desert me

My brothers in arms.



verse three:

There's so many different worlds

So many different suns

And we have just one world

But we live in different ones.



verse four:

Now the sun's gone to hell

And the moon's riding high

Let me bid you farewell

Every man has to die.

But it's written in the starlight

And every line in your palm

We're fools to make war

On our brothers in arms
