Bush to the left of them
Blair to the right
Into the valley of death
Drove the 5,000
In a great cloud of dust
Into the jaws of Hell
“There’s not to reason
Or ask of them why
There’s is to do and to die”
After all that has gone
There’s no turning back
For a Suicidal Cavalry Attack
Who wants to be the last one to die?
In a war that already is lost
Who wants to be the last one to die?
In a war that doesn’t exist
Two steps forward
Then three steps back
For a line that was drawn on a map
“Into the valley
Of the shadow of death”
The loved ones who’ll never come back
Where are they now?
The posters that read
“This country ….is at war”
Lost in a conflict
That history will judge
A Suicidal Cavalry Attack
Who wants to be the last one to die?
In a war that already is lost
Who wants to be the last one to die?
In a war that doesnt exist
Death still rains down
On the villages and towns
Civilians burned in their homes
They’ll take you away
If you stand up and say
The names of the “Glorious Dead”
Those that come back
Shoot themselves in the head
With the trauma of what they have seen
What does it take
To call them all back from this
Suicidal Cavalry Attack
Words by Mark from Last Under The Sun
