Songtext von When the War Came

With all the grain of babylon To cultivate to make us strong And hidden here behind the walls Are shoulders wide and timber on 'Til the war came 'Til the war came A terrible autonomy Is grafted onto you and me A trust put in the government Is all their lies are heaven sent 'Til the war came 'Til the war came And the war came with a curse and a caterwaul And the war came with all the poise of a cannonball And they're picking out a rise by coal and candlelight When the war came, the war came hard We made our huts of avaram We'd not betray the sole Ledum The acres of hysterisy To our own pangs of starvation When the war came When the war came And the war came with a curse and a caterwaul And the war came with all the poise of a cannonball And they're picking out a rise by coal and candlelight When the war came, the war came hard With all the grain of Babylon
