• Lyrics: The Dream (Verse) Steeped and weighted from the sins we’ve perpetrated throughout history I fell asleep beneath the blooming bows of a cherry tree I dreamed that I was riding on horse across these sacred battle grounds Through thick grey smoke and rebel yells and a million whistling musket balls (Chorus) I rode into the lines of my enemy And I help my sword high Into the face of death we road so bravely My boys fought and died (Verse) The battle raged, the day wore on and our ranks grew thin But we fought on for this righteous cause that we knew we would win We broke their lines at a place they now call Rudman’s Hill Where we fought hand to hand until we could fight no more There was no one left to kill (Chorus) And in the darkness you could hear their voices The sound of the wounded as they lay And all we could do was sit and listen As one by one they slipped away (Narrative) It must have been a gust of wind, a passing car or the coldness of the spring ground Anyway when I awoke there were cherry blossoms falling all around And as I looked out across these rolling fields I wondered how This place where man came to kill his father and his brother Could be so peaceful now (Chorus) And if you listen you can hear the sounds The armies of a hundred thousand men Marching off into the glory of the battle In a dream that never ends
