Lay Down Your Sword - Jane Taylor

Lay your sword on the ground

The brave at the bold

Well they’ve all fallen down

And I think that this cause

We’ve been holding out for

Well it died

And here are the things that were left

Shirts that you wore

Letters I sent

But oh what becomes

Of the things that belonged

Just to 'us'

You still have that locket

You promised to fill

And I think I know now

You never will

And so now go

Back in to your life

I’ll fall down in to mine

Get used to the silence

Tell myself that I’m fine

When were you ever so tired

Screaming your words at the wall

Who were you trying to reach girl

Who were you doing it for?

Come on lay down your sword.

And thy will

Be done

But it’s still a constant surprise

And something was broken

And something was healed

But there were no hero’s

Left on this field
