Hourgla** - Exit Wounds 1: Farewell lyrics

Today's a day That they knew could be coming But it hurts the same anyway The soldier is called To take part in the battle But he's still just dad for today The table is set The family is gathered To send their father on his way His country calls The soldier that leads them Is leaving to enter the fray Farewell laughter Farewell to your boys Farewell daughter Farewell to your voice Farewell father Farewell to you son Farewell brother Until the war is done What awaits no one knows What war brings time will show All that's certain is the cause and the man All are hurting for the price war demands Farewell laughter Farewell to your boys Farewell daughter Farewell to your voice Farewell father Farewell to you son Farewell brother Until the war is done What can be said When emotions run so high There's a lump in his throat And everyone he cares for is saying goodbye Tomorrow he leaves for war But that doesn't matter now All that he cares about Is enjoying this night somehow But there's one who will suffer More than the rest Yet she will still remain hopeful She will still do her best To raise their children to be worthy Of the freedom they possess And to understand the sacrifice Of a soul whose blood is shed What awaits no one knows What war brings time will show All that's certain is the cause and the man All are hurting for the price war demands Farewell laughter Farewell to your boys Farewell daughter Farewell to your voice Farewell father Farewell to you son Farewell brother Until the war is done
