What is love, what is war?
We played the game, what was it for?
Before her the clouds moved, the doves cooed, my heart yearned.
Before her the tides turned.
I liked my memories as they were but now i'll live remembering her.

We stood together
In trenches and behind the lines.
We had it coming
But we never saw the signs.

I took a shelter underground.
The rain and shells fell all around.
Before her the men crooned, the girls screamed, the babies cried.
Before her the peace died.
I liked my memories as they were but now i'll live remembering her.

We stood together
In trenches and behind the lines.
We had it coming
But we never saw the signs.

I took a love and took her down.
We'd lie and listen to the sounds.
Beside her our hands gripped, the heart swelled, the river flowed.
Beside her the fire raged.
I liked my memories as they were but now i'll live remembering her.

We stood together
In trenches and behind the lines.
We had it coming
But we never saw the signs.

It lit the sky, it shook the ground
And she was nowhere to be found...
(Break)
Without her the airs still, the siren wails, the people stare.
Without her the stars gleam, the seeds root, the earth still turns.
Without her the bells ring, the rain falls, the hurt burns.
Without her the oceans crash, the grass still grows, the children play...
Without her...
Without her...
