And you say that the battle is over

And you say that the war is all done

Go tell it to those with the wind in their nose

Who run from the sound of the gun

And write it on the sides of the great whaling ships

Or on ice floes where conscience is tossed

With the wild in their eyes it is they who must die

And it's we who must measure the loss

And you say that the battle is over

And finally the world is at peace

You mean no one is dying and mothers don't weep

Or it's not in the papers at least

There are those who would deal in the darkness of life

There are those who would tear down the sun

And most men are ruthless but some will still weep

When the gifts we were given are gone

Now the blame cannot fall on the heads of a few

It's become such a part of the race

It's eternally tragic that which is magic

Be killed at the end of the glorious chase

From young seals to great whales from waters to wood

They will fall just like weeds in the wind

With fur coats and perfumes and trophies on walls

What a hell of a race to call men

And you say that the battle is over

And you say that the war is all done

Go tell it to those with the wind in their nose

Who run from the sound of the gun

And write it on the sides of the great whaling ships

Or on ice floes where conscience is tossed

With the wild in their eyes it is they who must die

And we who must measure the loss

With the wild in their eyes it is they who must die

And we who will measure the cost
