Broken Land

Intro

Verse 1

Mud thick on the boot heel

Sinking down

Iron rain

Heavy lungs and cold dirt

Under a charcoal sky

Rations dry

Chorus

Wait for the signal fire

Wait for the bugle

Broken land

I hear the ghost of a choir

Screaming for a new day

Broken land

Verse 2

Brother fought for the gold crown

Copper penny in his pocket

Fell where he stood

Bitter bones and blood stains

The letters stayed unread

Torn apart

Piled like timber

Cold wood

Chorus

Wait for the signal fire

Wait for the bugle

Broken land

I hear the ghost of a choir

Screaming for a new day

Broken land

Bridge

Maybe it’s time to breathe

Maybe it’s time to die

Maybe it’s time to sleep

Under the salt spray

Salt in the wounds

Salt on the tide

Climax

No more guns

No more

The fire is out

Broken land

Oh the heavy load

Oh the heavy cost

The long road

Outro

Where the river ends

Broken land

The long road

Where the water meets the shore

Where it doesn't matter anymore

Gone to the sand
