Salutary Bayonets

[Underground_Network]

Here we are, standing far from where
The sun will rise, it's dark out,
The moon won't shine, 'cos lights out
Has been beckoned.

So don't believe me
When I say they're leaving,
The ships are headed
For the docks
At evening.

And the war's begun,
The salutary bayonets
Pulled out of the ground
Like the heads of ostriches
I know the sun
Is coming (soon).

And now its past the point
Where the clock won't turn back,
You can't get away, you can't save the day,
You can't kill the pain, you can't slaughter the brain,
You can't even think straight.

Because the war's begun,
The salutary bayonets
Pulled out of the ground
Like the heads of ostriches
I know the sun
Is coming (soon).

So don't cry "murder" when the bloodshed starts,
It was all your fault for not having a heart
You said let's play war and so he pulled out a gun,
And then you shouted let's go, let's fucking run.
But you didn't get far, no battle scars,
Just a deep wound to the chest from
A bayonet, the door behind you was left ajar...

Oh the war's begun,
The salutary bayonets
Pulled out of the ground
Like the heads of ostriches
I know the sun
Is coming (soon).

And the war's begun,
The salutary bayonets
Pulled out of the ground
Like the heads of ostriches
I know the sun
Is coming (soon).
The sun is coming...
Will it arrive
Before the moon's
Put out
And the sky
Reads "Doomed"?
