Dogtired shadows bent down at dusk Trampled grass was playing dead A billion broken bodies lay seek and release We let them sleep on a riverbed Take me back, Back to war Don't take me for granted, No It's brutal, cold and relentless Wound me, give me scares, so you can mend it, oh Be brutal, so there can be tenderness And then the marching bands would come, Playing there songs while they we dragged along the wounded Crying out covered in mud, my mouth felt warm with there own blood A promise made to settle down with me, Forever on the battleground with me Taking hostage, taking care But a war is a love and never fare with me Take me back, Back to war Don't take me for granted, No It's brutal, cold and relentless Wound me, give me scares, so you can mend it, oh Be brutal, so there can be tenderness Oh, oh, hm mh Take me back, Back to war Don't take me for granted, No It's brutal, cold and relentless Wound me, give me scares, so you can mend it, oh Be brutal, so there can be tenderness
