Emerson, lake & palmer farewell to arms lyrics

(Keith Emerson/Greg Lake)



In this our life on Earth 

Another dawn we face 

Is this the moment of truth 

For the whole human race 

Is that the last man down 

Is that the last life laid to waste 



Can we find in our hearts 

Each and every dream we've misplaced 

Before Heaven cries tears 

On the mountain we climb 



Farewell to arms 

Rest in peace 

May the reign of freedom be released 

Farewell to arms 

Just can't walk away 

We're all sharing this Earth at the end of the day 



When the cold winds bite

When the mad dogs speak 

However dark is your night 

Just keep turning your cheek 

'When the last shot's fired 

It is then the world will be free 

Still we are asking 

Just how long will it be 

Though we're blown by the crosswinds 

We stand like a tree 



Farewell to arms 

Rest in peace 

May the reign of freedom be released 

Farewell to arms 

Just can't walk away 

We're all sharing this earth at the end of the day 



Down this road we've wandered for so many years 

With every step we take 

We can tear down all frontiers 

Make no mistake 



Farewell to arms



Farewell to arms 

Rest in peace 

May the reign of freedom be released
