lyrics
This Scorched Earth
Fallow lands, barren fields, shallow graves
Morning light, new day dawns in still birth
Silent seas, voiceless breeze, separate waves
Useless sun, pointless moon, this scorched earth
This scorched earth, this scorched earth
One last shot heard round the world
This scorched earth, this scorched earth
Still no victory flag's unfurled
Siren's songs pierce the night in an endless refrain
No star light, no star bright, the sun is burning cold
And hope only held as strong as the weak link in the chain
of command, grains of sand who do as they are told
This scorched earth, this scorched earth
One last shot heard round the world
This scorched earth, this scorched earth
Still no victory flag's unfurled
As we hold the final line in the name of common sense
Open arms, open hearts, the only defense
This scorched earth, this scorched earth
One last shot heard round the world
This scorched earth, this scorched earth
Still no victory flag's unfurled
