lyrics

Keep calm and carry on
We march again at dawn
I ain't afraid, come at me, do your worst
You wanna get to them, you'll have to get through me first

They say you don't feel fear
Until the check don't clear
They say Now more than ever, say Oh, we must never forget
God help me, I'm derelict in duties that haven't been invented yet

Somehow the fire burned into embers
And I can't even remember
What I'm fighting for
Maybe I've lost the war

I'm bled white as a sheet
But I'm still on my feet
I'm abandoning my senses, throwing up my last defenses
Oh hell, tell them, cancel the monuments

And it takes all you are
Here's the ache of the scar
The unsettled score
Maybe I've lost the war

In the lightning, in the fog
I was lying like a dog
There was no glory here
In the sulfur, in the haze
Well, it got a little crazy
I've lost the story now, I fear

We march again, again
And I've tried to hold it in
But you can radio the captain
You can carry it by hand
You can send it up by semaphore
I've lost the war
Baby, I've lost the war
