Intro
Verse 1
In A Little Country Town Just Like Yours
I Was Born Cannon Fodder For The War
I Signed Up Just Like My Father Had Done Before
Back When There Was Something Worth Fighting For
Chorus 1
Now My Hands Don’t Feel Like Mine
And My Face Has Got New Lines
I Never Thought Before We Met
If Only I Could Die Such A Death
Verse 2
I Suppose That I Was Glad I Wasn’t Sent
To The Front Like My Brother And My Friends
I’d Been Jealous Of The Glories Left To Them
But Where’s The Glory Dying Screaming In A Trench
Chorus 2
Now Young Hands Shake Like They’re Old
Weary Eyes Show Dying Souls
It’s Not For Glory I Regret
If Only I Could Die Such A Death
Middle 8
When The Order Came To Ireland I Was Bound
To Defeat Your Bold Rebellion Against The Crown
When I Saw You With The White Flag In Your Hand
I Could’ve Killed You On The Spot But For The Command
But For The Command
Verse 3
Now The Time Has Come To Make Your Final Stand
And I’ll Dry My Tears And Ask To Shake Your Hand
Now I Can See That We Are Much The Same
Though Our Causes Have Been Given Different Names
Chorus 3
Now My Hands Don’t Feel Like Mine
And My Face Has Got New Lines
I Never Thought Before We Met
If Only I Could Die Such A Death
