i'm coming on like ice
but i could melt away
to make the freezing scene
takes another loose campaign
untie your heavy horses
they're dragging in the rain
dragging in the rain
they're dragging in the rain

company to arms
you soldiers will be famous
and keep your weapons clean
and sharpen all your sences
come in from the fields and
join us in the trenches
join us in the grave

unfold those sentences
from underneath your tongue, dear
or do they organize
much further down your throat?
the things you used to say
did you ever really mean them?
