lyrics

Been Told in the stars since time began
There’s no use running if the race is run

Dead on your feet from living on your knees
This was never how it was gonna be

It go to time for moving on
Where grass is greener and blue skies flow

Made it there but came right back
The people were kind but the earth was flat

Walking on the thin red line
Better not stumble better not sway to the side
I met a man was once my friend
Our eyes met for a moment and then we looked away
I don’t remember anymore, I don’t remember anymore
I don’t remember anymore. Why we fight

There’s Streets turn to river in the driving rain
Corpse of a car as the sun’s only shade

Standing tall but gone inside
Decline of the stock hidden in plain site

There people go hungry people in pain
Got to spend big keep the enemy from the gates

Shelter from the rain, Hide from the Sun
Steel from the soul, Bullets from the guns

Another War, and what will be
It’s a complicated vision of freedom and peace
So raise little knife I’ll raise little gun
And we can raise all our tommorows right into the ground
And remember it all, I don’t remember anymore
Remember it all…why we fight.

Walking on the thin red line
Better not stumble better not sway to the side
So raise little knife I’ll raise little gun
And we can raise all our tommorows right into the ground
And remember it all, I don’t remember anymore
Remember it all…why we fight.

To The Awe
by Rachel Newton

supported by 7 fans who also own “Why We Fight”

Keening, yearning, captivating and lovely collection of songs, the sense of close performance all the more remarkable when you learn it was made during Covid lockdown in 2020. The ballads and poems set to music on this album might be hundreds of years old, and while they do have an air of immortal, ancient tradition about them, they sound utterly current. Badzie

Serpent's Tears
by Richard Thompson

supported by 7 fans who also own “Why We Fight”

There's a similarity in song writing between Richard Thompson and Hugh Cornwell which maybe isn't surprising as they went to the same school at the same time, although Thompson is older. Due to Thompson's association with John French of Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band I searched for his work on the Bandcamp app. French, Thompson and Cornwell all have albums on the app which I'm very pleased about. Only Thompson has released contemporary albums, much to his credit. yellowcakeuf6

Love the complexity of this track and the rising and falling of the violins, and the texture. Makes me want to dance. Thank you so much for this album. I really love it, and find it really inspiring my own work on the Witchcraft Trials ❤️ tararosehip
