lyrics

Mama made home in the quiet hours
Of the warm twilight
Bread on the fire
How it broke with the force of a rising tide
In the heat of the sun
Oh, we die young

Like a cape
Sea-shaken by a distant drum
And the battle hymn fall
From a velvet tongue
When we to war
Oh we’d stick to our guns
We died younger then
Salt of the earth in our lungs

Fore the year of our lord
Oh my Jesus Christ
Syncopated violence
In the automatic ides
So every great reign must succumb in his time
But I ain’t yet done
Oh we die young

Like a cape
Sea shaken by a distant drum
And the battle hymn fall
From a velvet tongue
When we to war
Oh we’d stick to our guns
We died younger then
Salt of the earth in our lungs

And I pine for the constants
They come and they go
And my children grow soft on the bounty I sewed
When the mark of a man
Was the strength of his hand
And the queen on his arm

Like a cape
Sea shaken by a distant drum
And the battle hymn fall
From a velvet tongue
When we to war
Oh we’d stick to our guns
We died younger then
Salt of the earth in our lungs

We die young
Faster than the fleeting flower
We walk slow
High above the signal tower
Normandy waits
For our brothers in arms
We died younger then
Salt of the earth in our lungs
