Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Farewell to Arms lyrics

In this our life on Earth Another dawn we face Is this the moment of truth For the whole human race Is that the last man down Is that the last life laid to waste Can we find in our hearts Each and every dream we've misplaced Before Heaven cries tears On the mountain we climb Farewell to arms Rest in peace May the rain of freedom be released Farewell to arms We just can't walk away We're all sharing this Earth at the end of the day So when the cold wind bites And the mad dogs speak However dark is your night Just keep turning your cheek 'Cause when the last shot's fired It is then the world will be free And still we are asking Just how long will it be Though we're blown by the crosswinds We stand like a tree Farewell to arms Rest in peace May the rain of freedom be released Farewell to arms We just can't walk away We're all sharing this earth at the end of the day Down this road we've wandered for so many years With every step we take We can tear down all frontiers Make no mistake Farewell to arms Rest in peace May the rain of freedom be released
