Emerson Lake And Palmer Farewell To Arms Lyrics

Farewell To Arms Lyrics

(Keith Emerson/Greg Lake)

In this our life on Earth 
Another dawn we face 
Is this the moment of truth 
For the whole human race 
Is that the last man down 
Is that the last life laid to waste 
Can we find in our hearts 
Each and every dream we`ve misplaced 
Before Heaven cries tears 
On the mountain we climb 

Farewell to arms 
Rest in peace 
May the rain of freedom be released 
Farewell to arms 
We just can`t walk away 
We`re all sharing this Earth at the end of the day 

So when the cold wind bites 
And the mad dogs speak 
However dark is your night 
Just keep turning your cheek 
`Cause when the last shot`s fired 
It is then the world will be free 
And still we are asking 
Just how long will it be 
Though we`re blown by the crosswinds 
We stand like a tree 

Farewell to arms 
Rest in peace 
May the rain of freedom be released 
Farewell to arms 
We just can`t walk away 
We`re all sharing this earth at the end of the day 

Down this road we`ve wandered for so many years 
With every step we take 
We can tear down all frontiers 
Make no mistake 

Farewell to arms 
Rest in peace 
May the rain of freedom be released
