All words need to be sung; nobodies ever had this word in a song before,
matter of fact, every word needs to be in a song, every word
They're all important
Weeping sad and lonely
When This Cruel Thing is over
Hopes and fears, how vain
When This Cruel Thing is over
When This Cruel Thing is over
Oft in dreams I see you
On the battleplane
Sadly breathe and fallen
When This Cruel Thing is over
When This Cruel Thing is over
If amid-in of battle
Nobly you should fall
I whisper words in your honor
When This Cruel Thing is over
When This Cruel Thing is over
When This Cruel Thing is over
