about

Performed and produced by Sean Jeffery

lyrics

Your scarf it helps against the cold
The thought that I might once more hold
You, my love, back over the sea in England

The shells are buzzing overhead
Their mottled smoke clouds tinged blood red
The flashes betray the enemy
At dusk we storm the apple tree

Oh - what was it for?
Oh - what do we fight for?
Oh - what was it for?
Oh - what do we fight for?

The battles you have, wars of words
The blood you draw, imaginary
You preach your hate and say it's for your country

The flag that you so proudly parade
You desecrate just like the graves
Of those who died so that you're free
From the prejudice and bigotry you wage

Oh - what was it for?
Oh - what did they die for?
Oh - what was it for?
Oh - what did they die for?

Tranquility once shattered
By the cries of the dying
Man ground by machine
Into unforgiving mud
Visited by the loved ones
Left behind in broken homes
Pilgrimage to the fallen
Amongst the swathes of red
The swathes of bloody red

These Belgian fields once more know peace
So many have found eternal sleep
Too many my love
And so you'll find me
Forever beneath the apple tree

Oh - what was it for?
Oh - what did we die for?
Oh - what did we die for?
Oh - should have been the last war
Should have been the last war

Amongst the swathes of red
The swathes of bloody red...
