Ub40 - War Poem Lyrics

Silence falls in no mans land
To echo on uncertain steps
Sharp of eye and quick of hand
Advancing forward to regrets
Underfoot the bombs and mortars
Sleep awaiting coded warnings
Form the top the barking orders
Light the sky on these dark mornings
Chorus
Seek asylum from the terror
Reaching out for what is worth
Shelter form the raging anger
Raining down on bitter earth
Sympathy for all who's hurting
Getting lost between the lines
It's the stuff that keeps returning
Laughing loud in victors lies
Up above on winds declaring
Soon the cold will whistle through
Push aside the warm sierras
Fill the sails that carry you
Chorus
Many miles are put between the
What once was and what will be
Sleepwalk nightmare to sweet dream
Each step consigned to history
Every whisper sings resistance
All emotions hide inside
Refugee looks to the distance
Out there somewhere lies his pride
Chorus
