lyrics

Brothers and sisters in arms
Don't salute me salute yourselves
For leading the charge on this white coat battlefield
Protect our homes no matter how far
And we're the new recruits so seek out your morale
On dove's wings we all fly
Our clarity's a tempest rages all our lives
We're brazen, bold and green
With strength in numbers a flaw in tenacity
And as the world becomes our crime scene
We're playing chess the pawns are suffering

And who's the next to blame?
Take this time to breathe
Days blend into one big nothing
So why do we insist on separating?

Call to the Western Front
Up to our knees in dirt and mud
We were the first to cross no man's land
Sarge says it's a scouting op
It was midnight and the barbed wire fences stung
Gotta be a bit quicker
A little more cautious
Eyes on the invisible gun
We're on the offensive, take cover they're mowing us down
We've got a better chance in the trenches
Losing sleep from all the lead rain pouring down

It's been days, days and weeks
The true adversary's my mind
They say that our future's uncertain
Dust on the wayside
Always been the case
Go through the motions the fangs of a snake
Latching on to veins disguised as newspaper ink
Preparing for a flood as we're stranded in this desert
Some fighting mirages
While some find an oasis somewhere

Brothers and sisters in arms
Don't salute me salute yourselves
For leading the charge on this white coat battlefield
Protect our homes no matter how far
And we're the new recruits so seek out your morale
On dove's wings we all fly
We need each other now
As we're stubborn, brash and naïve
With strength in numbers a flaw in tenacity
As the world begins to run away
I'll try to do all the things that you need of me
As the world begins to run away
I'll do all the things that you need of me
