In the faraway fires Where the hills forever burn At the feet of our heroes We try hard to learn But the lesson is lost there In the smoke and the mud That we are one flesh One breath, one life One blood I stood by the river That ran red with shame I stood in the killing fields Where death had no name I stood with my brothers And awaited flood And we were one flesh One breath, one life One blood Then I fell to the ground Tasted ashes on my tongue Thinking that only the dead Are forever young There was peace in the twilight And for a moment or more There was a world without danger A world without war And I would take all your suffering It would do any good Cause we are one flesh One breath, one life One blood
