Lyrics
Sometimes it's simply splendid to see soldiers on parade
Their armour sparkles in the sunlight,
And thank God we have this shade
It's a beautiful mosaic to be witnessed from afar
And in this heat, it's simply marvellous to view from where we are
And it's oh so beautiful here in this wood
Where the food is delicious and the wine is tasting good
And the water dances deftly in the stream
And it's sounding out an ambience, poetic and serene
But out there in the distance, the campfires are burning
And the armies are assembling in strength
And though it's awfully pleasant here,
I have to ask, my dear
If it might not be prudent for us to consider
Just where we stand
As I draw my fingers across this freshly sharpened blade
I'm remembering my sins and all the choices I have made
And I resolve to make amends for all this bitterness and strife
By my sword and with this battle,
I will consecrate my life
And it's oh so beautiful here in this wood
Where the conversation's brilliant
And the wine is tasting good
And it's so nice you know the flowers by their names
If you can, pass me the caviar, but please avoid the flames
It's hard not to be discerning that the villages are burning
And though it gives the sky a warm, romantic glow
I don't mean to be sardonic
But that music is teutonic
And it might be prudent for us to consider
Just where we stand
What in the world have I been thinking?
How did my future get off track?
Our chance for success is slowly sinking
Unless we strive to take it back
Out there in the distance the campfires are burning
And the armies are assembling in strength
And though it's awfully pleasant here, you can forget it all, my dear,
If we don't stop to consider
Just where we stand
Out there in the distance the campfires are burning
And the armies are assembling in strength
And though it's awfully pleasant here,
I have to ask, my dear
If it might not be prudent for us to consider
Just where we stand
