Heather Alexander Courage Knows No Bounds Lyrics

Courage Knows No Bounds Lyrics

I looked across the battlefield,
Blood seeping from my wounds-
My
comrades, they did never yield,
For courage knows no bounds-
And yet, I
thought as I stood there,
Of all that it had cost-
For what we gained, it
seemed not fair ,
For all that we had lost-

They spoke of honour,
faith and pride,
defending for our home-
Through honour all my friends
have died,
their faith left me alone-
We fought for greed, we fought for
fame,
we killed too much to tell-
The devil and God were both the
same,
we worshipped only Hell-

We fought it seemed for a thousand
years,
a million nights and days-
Sharing one laugh with a hundred
tears,
seeing clearly through a haze-
Then came that day I know not
when,
beneath a blood red sun,
A-top a pile of dying men,
they said
that we had won-

Another tract of land is all
the territory
gained-
Will that ever pay for all
the lives here lost or
maimed?
Bodies lying all around,
blood bathing them in red,
Their
white eyes staring at the sun,
these, the countless dead?

I looked
across the battlefield,
blood seeping from my wounds-
My comrades, they
did never yield,
for courage knows no bounds-
