Scott Joseph Anderson - Going to War Lyrics

The last words have been spoken
It's time for us to go

See the broken arrows
What story have they told?
The only life is birdsong
Now that everybody's gone
Call and answer signals
With no fortune or respect
See the eyes keeping gaze on us
With beauty now bereft

Our son, our saviour

Straying from the road
With no aims of corruption
There's swansong to be had
And jeering from bystanders
Watch the wretched fall
In tumbleweeds scattering beyond
Stop this for mercy's sake
Give us a new direction

Give us a new direction

Going to war over this and that
Lead me away from the distant past
Give me direction from disfigurement
And all that is entailed when we go to war

Going to war over this and that
Lead me away from the distant past
Give me direction from disfigurement
And all that is entailed when we go to war

Give us a new direction
