Lyrics

Verse 1:
Can I tell you a secret?
About four brave men
Of 44 I brought to war
I knew it would be them
I could see it on their faces
A shining light
From heaven, no, up from below
It marked them all to die

Pre-Chorus:
I let them leave without a warning,
Their tags collected in the morning

Chorus:
Would you wanna know
When you’re gonna gonna go?
Would you wanna know
When you’re gonna gonna go?
When you’re when you’re gonna get it

(Repeat Chorus)

Verse 2:
I tried explaining,
I tried pleading
“Don’t go”, I said, “You’ll end up dead”
But he would not believe
He left a wife and
two little children
A newborn son, not even one
I knew how much he loved them

PreChorus 2:
So much for Mrs. Riker's lovely wedding
Seven happy years and two fine sons
I wonder was there any point in telling
If the knowing wouldn't save him from the gun

(Repeat Chorus x2)

Bridge: x4
Don't look in the mirror
Your future's getting clearer

(Repeat Chorus x3)
