One More Parade

One more parade
So young, so strong, so ready for the war
Here comes the big parade
One more parade
Light the flame

Cold hard stares on faces so proud
One more parade

Listen for the thunder of the marching boys
One more parade
Don't be ashamed
So there's no one you can blame

Here comes the big parade
A few years ago their guns were only toys
Price is paid
So there's no one you can blame

All march together, everybody looks the same
Don't be afraid
Don't be ashamed
Listen for the sound and listen for the noise
Don't be afraid
And the widows from the last war cry into their shrouds
Trained to kill as they're trained to stand
All march together, everybody looks the same
Here comes the big parade

So there's no one you can blame

One more parade
Price is paid
Light the flame

One more parade
General salutes and mothers wave and weep
10,000 ears need only one command
Don't be ashamed
Kisses from the girls and cheers from the crowd
All march together, everybody looks the same
Here comes the big parade
Medals on their coats and guns in their hands
Light the flame
So young, so strong, so ready for the war

So young, so strong, so ready for the war
So willing to go and die upon a foreign shore
Price is paid

Don't be ashamed, war's a game

Don't be afraid, price is paid
Don't be afraid
So willing to go and die upon a foreign shore
So willing to go and die upon a foreign shore
