Lay down your rifle Your sacrifice Lost in the thunderous noise Thousands will slumber So far from home Those who weren't there criticise All dressed in black Deep as red wine forever there Letters not sent They will decline one sacred prayer And the rain still comin' down In the churchyard no one's about No one knows his name Took a lifetime to work it out They all pass away in time It's too cold on this winters day As you concentrate the flame Burning brighter so far away Memories golden Nothing is lost A woman stands holding his life Carries the worries carved in her face She won't be sleeping tonight All dressed in black Deep as red wine forever there Letters not sent They will decline one sacred prayer And the rain still comin' down In the churchyard no one's about No one knows his name Took a lifetime to work it out They all pass away in time It's too cold on this winters day As you concentrate the flame Burning brighter so far away
