Gunshots shatter the peace of night
it's just another fire fight
for the people of this little town
but for the dying soldier
@the_levellers

he's feeling ten years older
and he's lying face down on the ground
all the words that are in his head
are all the words his mother said
as she would put him to bed back home
@the_levellers

your daddy died in Aleppo
fighting for Vladimir Putins' cause
and your brother he was killed in the last war
now your mother's lying at home alone

Every day she sees his face
on the picture on the fireplace
with your brother as he was leaving school
@the_levellers

then a day came five years ago
you said "mother, i need to know"
and you spoke the words your brother spoke before
@the_levellers

"i know the things my daddy done
i've seen the medals thet he won
and i know that this is what he would have wanted-for me"
@the_levellers

your daddy died in Aleppo
fighting for another man's cause
@the_levellers

and your brother he was killed in the last war
now your mother's lying at home alone
@the_levellers

AND NOW SHE WONDERS AT IT ALL
HOW MANY MORE ARE GOING TO ANSWER THE CALL
@the_levellers

TO FIGHT AND DIE IN ANOTHER COUNTRY'S
TO DIE FOR RELIGION THE NEVER BELIVED IN AT ALL
@the_levellers

The band that made this have just endorsed a White Helmets revisionist. @the_levellers
