A Hundred Men

歌詞

A hundred men went off to war A hundred men Their hearts were heavy, their heads were high As they kissed the ones they loved goodbye Some were eager some were scared Nobody knew and nobody cared When a hundred men went to war Then a thousand men went off to war A thousand men A few now said that it wasn't right And a few said prayers in their beds at night But of those so eager and those so scared A few now knew a few now cared When a thousand men went off to war Ten thousand men! Then a million men went off to war A million men Now fear came a'creeping down many a street Borne on the dust of a million feet And many now said that it wasn't right And many said prayers in their beds at night When ten million men went to war! Then all mankind went off to war Yes all mankind! And the people fought And the people cried And the people prayed But the people died And fear like a flood covered every street! Mixed with the blood on a billion feet! All now said that it wasn't right And prayed as one through the fiery night Their hearts were heavy as they watched the sun And kissed the ones they loved goodbye Now none were eager but all were scared Now they knew that they should have cared When a hundred men went off to war A hundred men
