The silence that breaks when you're screaming in battle
Two renegade soldiers ran off with the saddle
A horse, the captain, with twenty-odd men
A sword and a rapier and an old rusted trowel
While they're worried they'll break down on the way to Galilee
Many are low down with the way it can be
Then I'll go, when you see that I can't wait
Curious about a song, oh you can wait
The soldiers are strung up who are caught out late
The soldiers are strung up by each other in hate
The soldiers are strung up by each other in hate
