 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
