Les Chiens De La Guerre Lyrics - Rough Silk

it happened in the gutters 

near the dirty river's shore 

where the rats were the readers 

and on the run 

from the rising sun 

and the war 

they ain't gonna follow their leaders 

down the drain 

in the pouring rain 

anymore 

in the chest of someone who just lost his life 

with the light of dawn was found a soldier's knife 

cold september day - dark and grey 

watch out - beware 

les chiens de la guerre 

tears like raindrops fall - reaper's call 

la peine des mres 

les chiens de la guerre 

in the name of the father - in the name of the gun 

in the name of whatever 

they'll find a reason 

when it's hunting season 

and fun 

'cause some brains were never 

made for thinkin' 

and there's still some drinkin' to be done 

seas of blood and slime 

helmets filled with hate 

raise your glass, my friend 

it's time to kill your mate 

cold september day.............
