Emerson Lake & Palmer - Farewell To Arms lyrics

In this our life on earth

Another dawn we face

Is this the moment of truth

For the whole human race

Is that the last man down

Is that the last life laid to waste

We must find in our hearts

Each and every dream we've misplaced

Before heaven cries tears

On the mountains we climb

CHORUS

Farewell to arms

Rest in peace

May the reign of freedom be released

Farewell to arms

We just can't walk away

We're all sharing this earth at the end of the day

So when the cold winds bite

And when the mad dogs speak

However dark is your night

Just keep turning your cheek

Cause when the last shot's fired

It is then the world will be free

And still we are asking

Just how long it will be

Though we're blown by the crosswinds

We stand like a tree

CHORUS

Down this road we've wandered for so many years

With every step we take

We can tear down all frontiers, make no mistake
