Lyrics

No Man's Land
by Brooke Allyce Huntsman

On the day this city crumbled
There was hunger in the streets
There were babies trying to sleep
Your defenses you can keep now, Honey

Women flee through ash and stumble
Falling down upon sharp rocks
Broken skin and bloody socks
Mending fences kept their dogs from biting


Own up, Soldier
Good men are dead and gone
Wake up, Soldier
For traitors are shot at dawn


Where's the lighthouse at the harbor
There's no beacon on the hill
Join the service, pay the bills
But a sleeping sentry kills for money

He wore his comfort like an armor
He lay his aching body down
It was in service to the Crown
While his countrymen did down in battle


Own up, Soldier
Good men are dead and gone
Wake up, Soldier
For traitors are shot at dawn


Bodies in an open grave
Let us mourn the lives they gave
There is no one left to save

Don't go back
You'll die there
In no man's land

Brothers left upon the field
Muddy trenches as a shield
Fatal wounds cannot be healed

Don't go back
You'll die there
In no man's land


Own up, Soldier
Good men are dead and gone
Wake up, Soldier
For traitors are shot at dawn
