A Hundred Men Lyrics

A Hundred Men lyrics

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!!
