The Wind That Brings The Snow
Their hill walk began
One late November's day
Children
With their whole lives still to be
Their whole lives still to be
They walked and laughed
Until the white walls they closed in
And they knew that they were lost
And there in that raging night
So very far from home
The wind blew
And the wind that brings the snow
Blows on
Blows on
And the wind that brings the snow
Blows on and on
On and on
In the white darkness
They could find no shelter from the storm
So in the mountain's arms
They huddled against the cold
Huddled against the cold
And as the light died
Embraced by the freezing hurt
Their warmth slowly ebbed away
And there in that endless night
So very far from home
The wind blew
And the wind that brings the snow
Blows on
Blows on
And the wind that brings the snow
Blows on and on
It blows on and on
On and on
So the days passed
Until the chopper saw them there
The Children were found
But too late for the lost
It was too late for the lost
And as the winchman turned
He saw the face of a so young girl
Eyes wide on other worlds
And there in that silent dawn
So very far from home
The wind blew
And the wind that brings the snow
Blows on
Blows on
And the wind that brings the snow
Blows on
And the wind that brings the snow
Blows on
Blows on
And the wind that brings the snow
Blows on and on
It blows on and on
It blows on and on
on and on
Road to Silence
He came back from another war
Tried to make his own way
Came home from guns and drones
Found no job no pay
He came back from a realm of death
Into a world of deceit
Came home from a combat zone
Found himself on the streets
No place to sleep
He's still out there, somewhere
Amongst the violence
He's still out there, no one cares
He' s on a road to silence
He came back with a heroes' crown
Made hollow by turned blind eyes
Came home to a paper throne
Betrayed by a thousand lies
He came back to a broken dream
They'd forgotten what the fighting was for
Came home to be disowned
They keep their eyes on the floor
He doesn't matter any more
He's still out there, somewhere
Amongst the violence
He's still out there, no one cares
He's on a road to silence
Back there whilst out on Recon
He lost his friends to an enemy Can Bomb
Returned to base with only bones and dust
A drowning mind and a fallen trust
He's still out there, somewhere
Amongst the violence
He's still out there, no one cares
He's on a road to silence
He's still out there, somewhere.........
on a road to silence
