Dying Day

Barren Cross

Going down to the battle site where guns and bullets lay

To see the screaming wounded men, it's dying soldiers' day

Fight the yellows, fight the reds, shoot all those in sight

Fight the wars that were never yours, kill the world tonight



Dying day - for without the king, there'll be

Dying day - there's no use to look to see

Another way - talk of peace never ends

Dying day - but the blood sheds instead



Take your boots and here's your gun,

Take your lunch and wage

Here's a piece of ribbon if you're killed while acting brave

Hit the sirens, nuke the town, drink the acid rain

Peace will be here late next week, ups on train



Dying day - for without the king, there'll be

Dying day - there's no use to look to see

Another way - talk of peace starts the fight

Dying day - so the wars go on, that's right



Fill the shelters, clear the grounds, missile's on its way

No more time to change your mind, brother, it's too late,

It's dying day



Dying day - the king is the light, your only key

Dying day - there's no other way to see

Dying day - without him, you've just lost the light

Dying day - oh the king, oh the king was right
