Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The little creatures run in from the cold
Back to the nest just like the days of old
There in the safety of a mother's arms
The warmth of ages, far away from harm again
[Verse 2]
Ears ringing from the battle fire
The tired warrior aims a little higher
The black falcon or the little sparrow
The healing light or the flash of the barrel
[Verse 3]
No one wins
It's a war of man
[Verse 4]
No one wins
It's a war of man
[Verse 5]
Silver mane flying in the wind
Down through the planets on the run again
No one knows where they're running to
But every kind is coming two by two
[Verse 6]
Out on the delta
Where the hoofbeats pound
The daddy's running on the frozen ground
Can't smell the poison as it follows him
Can't see the gas and machines, it's a war of man
[Verse 7]
No one wins
It's a war of man
[Verse 8]
No one wins
It's a war of man
[Verse 9]
The windows open and the little girl dreams
The sky's her playground as she mounts her steed
Across the heavens to the other side
On wings of magic does the little girl ride
[Verse 10]
The baby creatures run in from the cold
Back to the nest just like the days of old
There in the safety of a mother's arms
The warmth of ages, far away from harm again
[Verse 11]
No one wins
It's a war of man
[Verse 12]
No one wins
It's a war of man
[Verse 13]
No one wins
No one wins
No one wins
