One More Parade

All march together, everybody looks the same
One more parade
Price is paid
Light the flame

10,000 ears need only one command
Light the flame

And the widows from the last war cry into their shrouds

Don't be afraid
Here comes the big parade
Listen for the thunder of the marching boys

General salutes and mothers wave and weep

Here comes the big parade
So willing to go and die upon a foreign shore
Listen for the sound and listen for the noise
So there's no one you can blame
Don't be ashamed
Price is paid
So young, so strong, so ready for the war
All march together, everybody looks the same
Trained to kill as they're trained to stand

A few years ago their guns were only toys
Here comes the big parade
Medals on their coats and guns in their hands
Don't be afraid
Don't be ashamed, war's a game
So there's no one you can blame
Light the flame
Don't be afraid
So willing to go and die upon a foreign shore
Price is paid
Don't be ashamed
One more parade
All march together, everybody looks the same

Don't be ashamed
Don't be afraid, price is paid
So young, so strong, so ready for the war
So willing to go and die upon a foreign shore

Here comes the big parade
Kisses from the girls and cheers from the crowd

One more parade
So there's no one you can blame

One more parade

So young, so strong, so ready for the war
One more parade
One more parade
Cold hard stares on faces so proud
