Emerson Lake And Palmer Battlefield Lyrics

Battlefield Lyrics

Clear the battlefield and let me see 
All the profit from our victory. 
You talk of freedom, starving children fall. 
Are you deaf when you hear the season`s call? 

Were you there to watch the earth be scorched? 
Did you stand beside the spectral torch? 
Know the leaves of sorrow turned their face, 
Scattered on the ashes of disgrace. 

Every blade is sharp; the arrows fly 
We`re the victims of your armies` lie, 
Where the blades of grass and arrows reign 
Then there will be very little sorrow, 
Very little pain.
