about

Broken Fields is a reflection of the futility of war and the challenge of life, the lyrics are inspired by 'When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom’d'
by Walt Whitman.

lyrics

In the morning mist they’re raising their flags
Bayonets glistening in the light
Sons and brothers in their blue grey rags
The whistle blows some aren’t ready to fight

Bleeding hearts on a broken field
Mothers cry echoes in the wind
Through the pain you keep pushing on
They keep shouting they’re gonna win
They keep shouting that they’re gonna win

The day fights on through a burning sky
Relentless battle for the good and right
Through the tears they keep asking why
On this day would you take the fight

Bleeding hearts on a broken field
Mothers cry echoes in the wind
Through the pain you keep pushing on
Keep on shouting we’re still gonna win
Keep on shouting we’re still gonna win

Now you’re laying in the broken fields
Keep on searching for the rea - son
Dark black angels keep on circling high above
Cause their waiting for their toll yeah their waiting for your soul
You gotta keep holding on
You gotta keep holding on

Bleeding hearts on a broken field
Mothers cry echoes in the wind
Through the pain you keep pushing on
They keep shouting we’re still gonna win
They keep shouting we’re still gonna win

Bleeding hearts on a broken field
Mothers cry echoes in the wind
Through the pain you keep pushing on
They keep on shouting we’re still gonna win

Bleeding hearts on a broken field
Mothers cry echoes in the wind
Through the pain you keep pushing on
They keep shouting we’re still gonna win

Bleeding hearts on a broken field
Mothers cry echoes in the wind
Through the pain you keep pushing onnnnnn
They keep shouting we’re still gonna win
They keep shouting we’re still gonna win
They keep shouting we’re still gonna winnnnn

They keep shouting we’re still gonna win
