lyrics

Why would you lead me here
Just to put me on the mound
Why would you lead me here
Just to throw me on the mound

Well I am used to this sort of thing
In the end it all feels the same
Well this old heart will keep on beating
Even when you’re sound in the mound
Oh the mound

They killed us not for character
Or some egregious sins
But for these badges on the outside
Of the shells we came here in

It was you who knew the strategy
You know I would have followed you ‘til dawn
And now we’re here beside this mound
Where longing spirits linger on

But I know you’re weary
Your heart combat-bound
You came here for a victory
But as for me I’m just a ghost within your memory
At the mound
Oh the mound

Why would you lead me here
When you’re feeling pretty strange
If your colors are changing
And the dead rearrange

Just let me know
You know you could let me go
Well I choose to look the other way it seems
But I can hear you know
You know well I can still hear
You know well I can hear
I can hear your sound in the mound
Oh the mound

I fell in a valley
Face down in blood and rain
Turn around retreat was sounded
But did you ever learn my name

Human flesh will die away
Mortal wounds will not be healed
But the tragedy today
You lost your faith upon this field

But I hope
Your heart will reconcile
Every hour becomes a year
Every inch becomes a mile
But you could swear right there
A hand reached up from underneath the pile

Oh I said
This old heart will keep on beating
It was you who knew the plans
This old heart will keep on beating
It was you who knew the way
This old heart will keep on beating
I said this heart will keep on beating
Beating
We will all lay sound in the mound
Oh the mound

Why would you lead me here
Just to throw me on the mound
