歌词
He was my brother
Born the day I left
He took the motherload
And I took the rest
He was a fighter
He was always in control
He kept a candle burning way down in his soul
Shots fired in anger
And a widow cries alone
Just one more mother's son who won't be coming home
They speak in whispers
There are riders to the east
The blind man says, "Mister, bring a bottle and a priest"
But that's the way it always goes
And that's the way it's always been
Who you are and what you know
You're like a feather on the wind
Let the river wash you away
Reach the river if you can
Past the blue and past the grey
All the way, all of the way
All of the way to no man's land
There was no shelter
There was nowhere left to run
They came like eagles screaming down out of the sun
And I heard the whistle sound
The engine pulled away
I shot my brother down and I left him where he lay
But that's the way it always goes
And that's the way it's always been
Who you are and what you know
You're like a feather on the wind
Let the river wash you away
Reach the river if you can
Past the blue and past the grey
All the way, all of the way
All of the way to no man's land
Some fight for honor
There are those that fight for gold
Some die believing all the fairytales they're told
But there are no heroes
And there is no marching band
There are no miracles down here in no man's land
