Dire Straits "Brothers In Arms"

Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms
Album: Brothers In Arms
Year: 1985

Lyrics:

These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day youll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And youll no longer burn
To be brothers in arms

Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
Ive witnessed all your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

Theres so many different worlds
So many differents suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

Now the suns gone to hell
And the moons riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But its written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
Were fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

Read between the lines people! This is an anti-war song and brilliantly written! Stop sending love to the armies in Afghanistan or wherever, just make everything you can to bring them back home.

Soldiers are not heroes,they are victims and they all have to get back to their families alive and well.

[David Courtney]

outstanding

I know you don't mean any disrespect, but claiming soldiers aren't heroes is just ignorant. They fight for their countries. They are also victims.

[MissDistarr60]

These are some of the most powerful words put to paper. To bad so many are busy arguing. They are obviously missing the message of the song. A very smart man that I know once said "The biggest obstacle to finding truth is believing that we already know it". Wise words.

[Zabombafum]

The only thing holding back muslims is racist ass wipes quite like yourself.

[gugainter1]

[George Bernatik]

As a citizen of Czech I did not to wish to nor you /neither any in the world our parents and our generation lived in a/1939 polish and german invasion b/ protectorate of germans to 1945 c/ command of SSSR till 1967 d/ invasion of SSSR from 1968 till 1990 ... now we have a " democracy " of the most rude and unscruples charakters ... but be sure when 1939 returns again I will be the first to defeat the Czech frontier ... or now the the freedom or my granchildren .... BETTER TO DIE THAN TO SLAVE
