about

Lyrics by Bertolt Brecht, Music by Mark Nichols

lyrics

So many words are said,
So many words are left unsaid

The soldier has come
Where he comes from he does not say
Hear what he thought, but did not say

The battle began grey at dawn
Grew bloody at noon
The first man fell in front of me
The second fell behind me
The third fell at my side
I trod on the first, left the second behind
The third run threw by the captain
One of my brothers died by steel
The other by smoke
My neck caught fire
My hands froze in my gloves
My toes froze in my socks
I fed on aspen buds,
I drank maple juice
I slept on stone in water
