lyrics

They called it a victory
5 footsteps into their march
colored banners flying proud flying high
higher than the wind should allow
And marching on without a pause
Their own scraping steps their sole applause
As treadworn boots pound the bootworn ground down
Nothing but the same old paths
That other fools have found

Marching to the beat
Of not yet written songs
About battles not yet won
About Fools Beneath the Sun

They float on their revelry
Like clouds over miles of sea
but what kind of thunder clouds are those which never bring the rain
They float on their revelry
Like clouds over miles and miles of sea
They twirl their guns like pinwheels in the wind
spinning yarns as long as the day
placing bets and tossing dice as they gamble everything away
all beneath the shade of olive trees
and marching on toward the eastern sky to find the place where the sun and heroes rise
without a cause instead they seek a prize
as true as a mirage to thirsty eyes
that's never to be reached

Marching to the beat
Of not yet written songs
About battles not yet won
About Fools Beneath the Sun

Brave man, why do you hide behind? Why do you hide?
Brave man, why do you hide behind? Why do you hide?

Marching to the beat
Of not yet written songs
About battles not yet won
About Fools Beneath the Sun

Brave man, why do you hide?
Brave man, why do you hide?
Brave man, why do you hide behind a gun??

They said that they'd set you free
Free from the bonds and chains
They said that they'd set you free
They said that they'd set you free
They said that they'd set you free
They said that they's set you free
Free from the bonds and chains.
