Demons run when a good man goes to war

Night will fall and drown the sun when a good man goes to war

Friendship dies and true love lies

Night will fall and the dark will rise when a good man goes to war

Demons run but count the cost

The battle’s won but the child is lost

The fight goes on but what’s it for when a good man goes to war

Now rise the sun, now dawn the day

When good men run and women stay

When battle’s done and nothing’s won

It’s a woman’s work to say

Well then, soldier, how goes the day?
