Cm                     A/C#           -7    Dm
This war we are waging    is already lost 
                          B/D#                  -7
The cause for the fighting    has long been a ghost 
G           F#m  Am                  E
Malice and habit    have now won the day 
Em              Aadd9      D    D7         G4-3
The honours we fought for are lost in the fray 

Intro

Standards and bugles are trod in the dust 
Wounds have burst open, and corridors rust 
Once proud and truthful, now humbled and bent 
Fires which burnt brightly, now energies spent

Intro 

Let down the curtain, and exit the play 
The crowds have gone home and the cast sailed away 
Our flowers and feathers as scarring as weapons 
Our poems and letters have turned to deceptions
