A Light Of A Fading Star

And the light of a fading star

Is what you were, is what you are

Like the glow that christens the moon

You shown too soon, you shown too soon

An when will this war be over?

And the madness leave the air

This brick that's flown between us

And the pulling of the hair

But if there's a reason

I don't need to know right now

Volunteers are soon forgotten

And many more of us shall die

That sick still feed the hungry

And the last battle song has cried

But if there's a reason

I don't need to know right now

And I always thought

That you, you wanted me

And I always thought somehow

That you, you wanted me

But if there's a reason

I don't need to know right now

Cause beyond the pale lies evening

And the shadow of the plough
