Ballad of a Dead Man

The moon lights up over the battlefield now

With a blistering heat somehow

Lifeless limp and broken hearts are dead

They should have just stayed home instead

Stayed alive

When letter arrives

It glistens mother's eyes

She wonders where when and why

She could have tucked him in his bed

With a kiss on a cheek and his head

Where he'd still lie

Well the moon and the stars

Can't cast shadows on what is wrong

Well my boys are dead, they've been mislead

Nothing more

The sun wakes up, brings sparkles in the morning light

Rubs her belly, bows her head to cry

She lost him before they were wed

But he's there in her heart and her head, he'll stay alive

Oh the moon and the stars can't cast shadows on what is wrong

Well my boys are dead, they've been mislead

Nothing more

Well the moon and the stars can't cast shadows on what is wrong

Well my boys are dead, they've been mislead

Nothing more

Well the moon lights up over the battlefield now
