Angelo Bruschini & Hazel Bligh - Them That Go To War (feat. Ross Bell)

Ma' I think that I have found
A way to escape this dead end town
So I don't reap a life full of regret
I've got to go before before I'm bound
By homely girls to serve the crown
I'm far too young to be tied down just yet

Them that go to war
Seek destiny's on distant shores
That doesn't show the cost of coming home
Them that go to war
Come back to face themselves once more
And bear the weight of ghosts when they're alone

I understand you've got to leave
But son is this the path you need
Your life's so precious, your everything to me
I know this town has clipped your wings
I wish you all that life can bring
You going to war was never in my dreams

Them that go to war
Seek destiny's on distant shores
That doesn't show the cost of coming home
Them that go to war
Come back to face themselves once more
And bear the weight of ghosts when they're alone

Ma I took the shilling,
Shipped off to see the killing fields
Of lands I've never thought or seen before
I'm angry for the lies they told
And bitter for the souls they sold
I've made it back, but damaged at my core

Them that go to war
Seek destiny's on distant shores
That doesn't show the cost of coming home
Them that go to war
Come back to face themselves once more
And bear the weight of ghosts when they're alone

Thank God you've made it back to me
To see what war has done to thee
Your lost and angry for the things you've done
Son just know I am here for you
An' together we can see this through
Unseen wounds can take some time to heal

Them that go to war
Seek destiny's on distant shores
That doesn't show the cost of coming home
Them that go to war
Come back to face themselves once more
And bear the weight of ghosts when they're alone
And bear the weight of ghosts when they're alone
And bear the weight of ghosts when they're alone
