My bladder woke me this morning and when I got back into bed this was nagging me so I had to get-up put it down then record it in a matter of 3 hours. It deals with the feelings soldiers get as they come home from war, it's not just about the present conflict, but about the 1st and 2nd world wars and the Falkland conflict, and all the other wars before and since, and if you've a mind; back to time immemorial as men have always delighted in killing each other. That does not detract from the fact that these people that put their lives on the line for us are anything less than HERO'S, and I thank them for their sacrifice. It's in Waltz time
Silence of SoldiersUndefined
The silence of [F]soldiers
Coming home from the [Bb]war
They survived for their [Dm]loved ones
Made it safe for us [Gm]all
When the battle was [F]raging
Far away from their [Bb]home
All that kept their heart [Dm]beating
through the death and the [Gm]gore-[Bb]
Was the smiles on the [F]faces
Was the tears of [Am]relief
And the hugs and the [Bb]kisses
And the warmth of [Gm]release
That wars are all [Dm]over
That all men became [Bb]one
No more need for [Dm]destruction
Or the sword or the [Gm]gun-[C7]
chorus
And the silence of [F]soldiers
As they look through the [Dm]crowd
As they search for the [Gm]faces
for the ones that [F]survived
And they remember the [Gm]fallen-[Bb]
The ones that [Am]remained
[Dm]In the fields of des[Gm]truction-[Bb]
In the war hero's [F]grave
The silence of [F]soldiers
Coming home from the [Bb]war
As their children cry "[Dm]daddy, you can't leave us no [Gm]more"-[C7]
"Don't you leave us no more"-[F]
REPEAT CHORUS AND LAST VERSE
