Trenches Songtext
von Angus Powell

Set adrift across an ocean
Of innocence and beauty
Where water moves with such emotion
It calms the eyes of those who see it

But underneath the surface
Oh, there′s a war
My soldiers all lined up
They're ready, ready to fall

Does the rain come just to tease us?
Or does it fall to help us cope?
Does it guide us on our journey?
Or fill the caravan with hope?


′Cause underneath the surface
Oh, there's a war
My soldiers all lined up
They're ready, ready to fall

You might see them on the white plеade
You might hear them dropping gold
Some might writе that this is progress
But to me, I think we′ve lost

And as I stand to face this
I try to let it go
I may have dug the trenches
But I did not dig the hole

For underneath the surface
Oh, there′s a war
My soldiers all lined up
They're ready, ready to fall
