The Decemberists - This Is Why We Fight lyrics

Come the war come the avarice
Come the war come hell

Come attrition come the reek of bones
Come attrition come hell

This is why why we fight
Why we lie awake and this is why
This is why we fight

When we die we will die
With our arms unbound

And this is why this is why
Why we fight come hell
Bride of quiet bride of all unquiet things
Bride of quiet bride of hell

Come the archers come the infantry
Come the archers of hell

This is why why we fight
Why we lie awake this is why
This is why we fight

And when we die we will die
With our arms unbound and this is why
This is why we fight come hell
Come hell

This is why why we fight
Why we lie awake this is why
This is why we fight when we die
We will die with our arms unbound
And this is why this is why we fight

So come to me come to me now
Lay your arms around me and this is why
This is why we fight
Come hell come hell
Come hell come hell
