Lyrics

[Verse 1]
These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
[Verse 2]
Someday you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn
To be brothers in arms
[Verse 3]
Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I've witnessed your suffering
As the battle raged higher
[Verse 4]
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms
[Verse 5]
There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones
[Verse 6]
Now the sun's gone to hell
And the moon riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
[Verse 7]
But it's written in the starlight
And every line in your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms
