The war has taken its turn and it ain't ever turning back
I grew to be a man
A man who grew to be a king
Got a job at the mill
And when the war came
I signed up for you
Every day now
I send a letter to the people back home
Oh, I bet you long for the life that you lived
Me and myself I got nothing to lose but this war
And I'm telling you the war that I fought
It was wrong
And we must die
Well now the shells are hammering down on the riverbed
Drums roll
And we must go
We must go, the enemy is upon us
Rise from your knee
And now, pull to the bridge
Oh, brother don't turn, cause I'm right behind you now
Go on, go on, on up from the riverbed
For I'm telling you the war that I fought
It was wrong
And we must die
It doesn't matter much now anyway
Tonight we unite
