No Man Can Find the War -- Tunng

No Man Can Find the War -- Tunng (off of Dream Brother: The Songs of Tim and Jeff Buckley)

Photographs of guns and flame
Scarlet skull and distant game
Bayonet and jungle grin
Nightmares dreamed by bleeding men
Lookouts tremble on the shore
But no man can find the war

Tape recorders echo scream
Orders fly like bullet stream
Drums and cannons laugh aloud
Whistles come from ashen shroud
Leaders damn the world and roar
But no man can find the war

Is the war across the sea?
Is the war behind the sky?
Have you each and all gone blind:
Is the war inside your mind?

Humans weep at human death
All the talkers lose their breath
Movies paint a chaos tale
Singers see and poets wail
All the world knows the score
But no man can find the war

[mochahawaiikoko]

Reminds me of The Books in a way. Thank you, Pandora.

[Ljandj99]

great music, but the vocals don't compare to Tim Buckley

[fjmbond]

Some classics should never ever be touched upon by anyone but the original artist. I think this is an exemplatory case. God-awful. Buckley turning over in his grave.
