A sensitive time approaches just before dawn

That carries them further to nowhere

The field will be gorged upon the sacrifice made

Despite all their efforts to take care



There's no talk about anyone

Lying out in the rain

They're quite certain to carry on

Though it's clearly insane



So please don't praise those mindless games

With reckless claims

Of glory and fame



Talons of steel will seek them out on the day

Intent upon venting its fury

Onward they move and with complete disregard

Of danger while doing their duty



Still no talk about anyone

Lying wounded in pain

Hearts stop beating is this the one

To carry somebody's name



So please don't praise those mindless games

With reckless claims

Of glory and fame



Mighty and strong

So very young

There they will stay

So far away
