lyrics

Shivering with heat from the cold, they took their stances on the battlefield,
Though they weren’t armless, defeatedly artless.
Romance spilled over barbed wire, bomb shells and empty tanks.
Bulletproof yearning and purpose unswerving.

Are we going home yet? We’ve been out here for far too long.

We watched them shoeless in the war,
Weapons replaced by dancing,
We never saw them giving love;
They were love romancing.

We watched them shirtless in the war,
Comfort replaced by laughing,
We never saw them giving love;
They were love romancing.

Suddenly the war was over,
Neither side had won at all.
Unsatisfied, the victors applied to the battle next Fall.

And Oh! how the war then raged, casualties from every age.
They became murderous in a non-violent way.

They kissed with bullets,
They cheered with grenades,
They danced over mines,
They hugged within gas,
They loved with a war,
They killed with a love.
