Lyrics

After a time, when the war was over
With nothing left to lose
After a time being lost in silence
On the battle lines we drew
They’re falling over in laughter
They’re falling over in laughter
If you believe that the war was over you
If it was all you knew

Now I don’t see medals
I don’t see medals
For your good intentions
Your good intentions
No I don’t see medals now
No gold or riches now
Just a cold flat surface
Now you've served your purpose

You make believed that the war is over but the shots are closer
Ignite the trees and the ground before us in a frightening chorus
You’re falling over in laughter
Rushing into the disaster
After a time when the wreckage comes for you

(Encircled)
(Encircled)

The glory bells rang
Above the soldiers
The ruins open wide
Like a lover and companion

Now I don’t see medals
I don’t see medals
For your good intentions
Your good intentions
No I don’t see medals now
No gold or riches now
When the going gets harder
You’ll make a damn fine martyr, yeah

Now I don’t see medals
I don’t see medals
