[Verse 1]
This war we are [Cm]waging
[A]is already los[Dm]t
The cause for the [Ebdim]fighting [B]has
long [Ebdim]been a gh[Baug]ost[G]
Malice and [A]habit[F#m][A][Am]
have now won [E]the day[Em]

[Verse 2]
Standards and [Cm]bugles [A]are
trod in the [Dm]dust
Wounds have burst open,
[Baug]and corr[B]idors rust[Ebdim][G]
Once proud [A]and truthful,
[Am]now humbled and bent[E][Em]
Fires which [Asus4]burnt bri[A]ghtly, now[D] energies spent[G]

[Verse 3]
Let down [Cm]the curtain,
[A]and exit the[Dm] play
The crowds have gone [Ebdim]home
[B]and the cast sailed away
[Baug]Our flow[G]ers and feathe[A]rs[Am]
as scarring as [E]weapons[Em]
Our poems and [G]let[A] te[D]rs have turned to dece[G]ptions
