Видео: 10,000 Maniacs - Anthem For Doomed Youth

For whom do the bells toll
When sentenced to die
The stuttering rifles
Will stifle the cry
The monstrous anger
The fear`s rapid rattle
A desert inferno
Kids dying like cattle
Don`t tell me
We`re not prepared
I`ve seen today`s marine
He`s eighteen and he`s eager
He can be quite mean
No mock`ries for them
No prayers or bells
The demented choirs
The wailing of shells
The boys holding candles
On untraveled roads
The fear spreads like fire
As shrapnel explodes
I think it`s wrong
To conscript our youth
Against their will
When plenty of our citizenry
Really like to kill
What sign posts will lead
To armageddon`s fires
What bugles will call them
From crowded grey shires
The women sit quiet
With death on their minds
A slow dusk descending
The drawing of blinds
Make the hunters all line up
It`s their idea of fun
And let those be forgiven
Who never owned a gun
Was it him or me
Or the wailing of the dead
The laughing soldiers
Cast their lots
And you can cut the dread
