This song has always brought tears to my eyes.
Just close your eyes and reflect. May they rest in peace.
Brothers in Arms
http://djallyn.org/media/brothers_in_arms.flvThese mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you’ll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you’ll no longer burn
To be brothers in armsThrough these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I’ve witnessed your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in armsThere’s so many different worlds
So many differents suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different onesNow the sun’s gone to hell
And the moon’s riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But its written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We’re fools to make war
On our brothers in arms
