War of Man

[Verse One]

The little creatures run in from the cold

Back to the nest just like the days of old

There in the safety of a mother's arms

The warmth of ages, far away from harm again

[Verse Two]

Ears ringing from the battle fire

The tired warrior aims a little higher

The black falcon or the little sparrow

The healing light or the flash of the barrel

[Chorus]

No one wins

It's a war of man

No one wins

It's a war of man

[Verse Three]

Silver mane flying in the wind

Down through the planets on the run again

No one knows where they're running to

But every kind is coming two by two

Out on the delta

Where the hoofbeats pound

The daddy's running on the frozen ground

Can't smell the poison as it follows him

Can't see the gas and machines, it's a war of man

[Chorus]

[Verse Four]

The windows open and the little girl dreams

The sky's her playground as she mounts her steed

Across the heavens to the other side

On wings of magic does the little girl ride

[Chorus One]

The baby creatures run in from the cold

Back to the nest just like the days of old

There in the safety of a mother's arms

The warmth of ages, far away from harm again

[Chorus]
