lyrics

All the world is running but nobody can move,
They said the war is coming so what's a young boy to do?
Any side he chooses will be the side of death,
His young love sits at home whispering prayers under her breath,

No God can help you now, only powder and a gun
You can try to shoot if you want to live but don't you try to run
At night you starve and wait for another day to come
The pens are full of lovers young who've begun to kiss and hunt

God save my lover, he is mine and yours alone
Help him find safety and peace and make it on his own
I love him God as do you, I could never love another
Save him now, oh save him please, oh God he's my only lover
Save him now, oh save him please, oh God he's my only lover

The trenches are full of sand and dirt and mud
Thought I'd never get to know myself enough, but I was wrong
Down in the trenches another grenade blows the world away
And at home my young love sits wasting her life away

God isn't picking any sides this time
I can't tell the difference besides the color in our eyes
But if someone tells you to shoot, you better be fast to draw
Nothing good comes at the end of a bullet shot right at your heart

God save my lover, he is mine and yours alone
Help him find safety and peace and make it on his own
I love him God as do you, I could never love another
Save him now, oh save him please, oh God he's my only lover
Save him now, oh save him please, oh God he's my only lover
Oh God he's my only lover, Oh God he’s my only lover, Oh God he’s my only lover
