Spoke about it twenty-four days ago

Talked about it twenty-three years away

Asked about it never to be lost again

That feeling of emotion

He sang about it twenty days long ago

Heard about it nineteen everlasting wars

Though about it twenty-six times a day

That feeling of destruction

No one could ever rely on the words of the truth

In the battlefield

Someone is there through the time of events

They will speak your name, sing your voice

Speak they will shine, they will sing in your heart

Never let it be, never let it sing

Let it reach always the song for you

In the darkness there's always a song for you

So they wrote a book about it saying really many times

And no one ever talks about it 'till they come alive

Always to be known as the ones that changed the course

I see them demonstrating everywhere,

Believe this is happening,

Truth is always going to be strong

Changing our thoughts of war

In the darkness, changing our thoughts of war

So he wants the truth and the good in every soldier

Coming on unbroken in the battle for the cause

They will show that each will be given the freedom that comes

With a heavy load and other lives and other dreams

Wounded inside

Lost forever

'Twenty-three, twenty-four, eleven'

So he wrote it down

'Twenty-three days, twenty-four minutes, eleven hours

And I'll be gone and gone out of this

Desolate place, this desolate waste'

We are the first generation to know

That more really doesn't relieve

It just breaks the song clearly around us

Everyday

'Twenty-three, twenty-four, eleven'

'Twenty-three, twenty-four, eleven'
