So Far Away

(альбом: The Eleventh Hour - 1983)

A sensitive time approaches just before dawn
That carries them further to nowhere
The fields will be gorged upon the sacrifice made
Despite all their efforts to take care

There's no talk about anyone
Lying out in the rain
They're quite certain to carry on
Though it's clearly insane

So please don't praise
Those mindless games
With reckless claims
Of glory and fame

Talons of steel will seek them out on the day
Intent upon venting it's fury
Onward they move and with complete disregard
Of danger while doing their duty

Still no talk about anyone
Lying wounded in pain
Heart stops beating, is this the one
To carry somebody's name?

So please don't praise
Those mindless games
With reckless claims
Of glory and fame

Mighty and strong
So very young
There they will stay
So far away
