Letra de Deserters
On the last night of the heatwave, the storm arrived We sat up on the roof and chewed at our lives There was a fierce wind gusting and debris flying And the black trees waving from side to sideAnd then the thunder roared and down came the rain If we'd forgotten what was real, while we knew it then Ah, remember the night There's a cacophony of voices telling us what to believe When the press-gang shows, it will be time to leaveAnd let the columns of the righteous pass us by Take only what we need, keep the powder dry They only shoot deserters they can findAh, it's easy to love people that's easy to make happy It's harder to love people who are never satisfied Everything is dividing and loyalties questioned Sometimes I'm terrified by my own sideMaybe there's other kind of heroes in these troubled lands Maybe doubt in the heart, maybe blood of the hands The young ones all restless, excited to be here And the old ones say less but laugh the moreSo let the columns of the righteous pass us by Take only what we need, keep the powder dry They only shoot deserters they can findStill these mornings I wake up singing Even if I can't remember why These mornings I still wake up singing Even if I can't remember whyTake only what we need, keep the powder dry You know they only shoot deserters they can find
