About

After the wars are fought

Lyrics

Verse 1

Paper boat in the gutter

Grey sky holds the day

Old shoes lie together

Dreams slip quietly away

Empty swings in autumn wind

Shirts faded on the line

Footsteps lost in distance

Worlds drift out of time

Paint peels on old shelter

Maps scatter in the sand

Hope waits by the roadside

Not knowing where to land

Chorus

Will we wait for morning sun

In stillness ever chanting

Will the wars end for anyone

When no one is left standing

Post-Chorus

No one is left standing

Verse 2

Shelters empty, silent streets

Gentle cold, glass unshattered

Time forgets the lost defeats

And asks if meaning mattered

Pre-Chorus

Pages turning, memory bends

Flicker of peace demanding

Who will be there when struggle ends

To celebrate the landing

Chorus

Will we wait for morning sun

In stillness ever chanting

Will the wars end for anyone

When no one is left standing

Post-Chorus

No one is left standing

Bridge

Night falls over distant lands

Dreaming eyes remembering

Crowns of peace in empty hands

Too tired for surrendering

Chorus

Will we wait for morning sun

In stillness ever chanting

Will the wars end for anyone

When no one is left standing

Post-Chorus

No one is left standing

Outro

Smoke curls in steady lines

Wind whispers through the clearing

Shadowed names in faded signs

Only silence nearing

Post-Chorus

Ooh

Post-Chorus

No one is left standing...

Post-Chorus

No one is left standing

Verse 3

Lifeless flags on quiet ground

Dawn asks without answering

Echoes run where hearts were found

Soft promises, vanishing

Chorus

Will we wait for morning sun

In stillness ever chanting

Will the wars end for anyone

When no one is left standing

Post-Chorus

No one is left standing

Fade out

Shadows melt into the haze

Soft light beyond recalling

Silent hours stretch and blaze

Leaves across memory falling

Breath of stars above the roofs

Streetlights blinking, barely glowing

Questions faint and sorrowproof

Onward, quietly flowing

Post-Chorus

No one is left standing

Instrumental

End
