Tollini (Kluso) ©2007 See our fields left untended grow only into weeds While our fences unmended whistle in the breeze Go an’ fetch us some water but save it for yourself can’t ya see I’m going off to war Now who fanned these cold embers deep inside my heart ‘til the black coals were burning likes bonfires in the dark I’m gonna see, gonna see gonna see it for myself Look at me I’m marching off to war Killed a man, killed a man while I was away And the mask he was wearing turned like ashes into gray I got to see, got to see, got to see it for myself Got to see the bloody face of war now our fields left untended grow only into weeds While our fences unmended whistle in the breeze Go an’ fetch me some water and bring it on your knees Look at me I am the face of war Look at me I am the face of war
