Freezing Scene

i'm coming on like ice

but i could melt away

to make the freezing scene

takes another loose campaign

untie your heavy horses

they're dragging in the rain

dragging in the rain

they're dragging in the rain

company to arms

you soldiers will be famous

and keep your weapons clean

and sharpen all your sences

come in from the fields and

join us in the trenches

join us in the grave

unfold those sentences

from underneath your tongue, dear

or do they organize

much further down your throat?

the things you used to say

did you ever really mean them?
