The Bells of War

Dave Gwyther


The bells ring, they tell me, the dead have come home
They fought in a war far away
They went there, and died there, all alone
And now they rest in their graves.

We bombed the homes of those who were poor
Because we said they shouldn't be poor any more
We killed the children of those who weren't free
Because we believe in democracy.

The bells ring, they tell me, the dead have come home
They fought in a war far way
They went there, and died there, all alone
And now they rest in their graves.

We slaughtered those who tried to free themselves
Even though we believe in freedom for ourselves
We say one thing and we mean another
But I won't kill another man 'cause he is my brother.

The bells ring, they tell me, the dead have come home
They fought in a war far way
They went there, and died there, all alone
And now they rest in their graves.
