[00:00.00]The Battle - Blood, Sweat & Tears
[00:08.65]While the king and queen lie sleeping
[00:11.54]And their daughters smile so nice
[00:14.91]Brothers wait through windows
[00:17.44]And the peasants die for rice
[00:20.58]And here I'm standing naked
[00:23.05]Laughing madly at the sun
[00:26.36]Though I wanted to sleep late today
[00:30.24]The Battle's just begun
[00:33.94]Oh the Devil in all his wisdom
[00:37.57]The father in all his grace
[00:40.84]The servant's sons are washed in blood
[00:44.29]And the man has run his race
[00:56.82]A moving target looms behind the street
[01:00.48]Where soldiers stood
[01:02.95]Siren screams out desperately
[01:05.54]Like only humans could
[01:08.53]And standing on my balcony
[01:11.27]I watch the battle run
[01:14.29]Yes the war is never over
[01:18.01]But the day is never done
[01:22.39]Oh the Devil in all his wisdom
[01:25.63]The father in all his grace
[01:28.80]The servant's sons are washed in blood
[01:32.06]And the man has run his race
[01:42.87]Six-white horses like the wind are running
[01:46.82]Five are far behind
[01:49.89]The captain lost his daughter
[01:53.03]The sergeant lost his mind
[01:56.39]The soldiers they still scream for riches
[01:59.84]Even though they swore
[02:03.35]That sons and daughters wouldn't live
[02:06.94]Unless we won the war
[02:12.04]Oh the Devil in all his wisdom
[02:14.99]The father in all his grace
[02:18.28]The servant's sons are washed in blood
[02:21.76]And the man has run his race
