Lyrics
[verse]
These hills have seen a hundred wars come and go
Names carved in stone that nobody wants to know
I marched beside a stranger who became my kin
We shared the same cold rain, the same thin skin
[verse]
Some of us are walking, some of us are laid to rest
Under a foreign sky that never called us blessed
I lost the taste for glory somewhere on this ground
All I found was silence where the shells came down
[chorus]
We are brothers in arms
Underneath this burning sky, brothers in arms
Whatever flag we carried, whatever colors torn
We are brothers in arms, till the war is gone
[verse]
Now the fires are dying and the guns have gone quiet
Just the wind across the valley and the ghosts nearby it
I'll carry you home in whatever way I can
No more lines to cross, no more no man's land
[chorus]
We are brothers in arms
Underneath this burning sky, brothers in arms
Whatever flag we carried, whatever colors torn
We are brothers in arms, till the war is gone
[bridge]
When the daylight comes and the smoke has cleared away
Let there be no more graves left waiting for the day
There's a world beyond the trenches, a world beyond the pain
Let us find our way back home again
[chorus]
We are brothers in arms
Underneath this burning sky, brothers in arms
Whatever flag we carried, whatever colors torn
We are brothers in arms, till the war is gone
