Captain Beyond Armworth Lyrics

"What was my arm worth
when they took it away?"
In a spirited rush, I said,
of Armistice Day

Where did they put it, fella?
Where and which way?
Did it stop the mad charge
that the enemy made?

Or is it with my brother,
is it with my brother
in a meaningless grave?

Tell me where?
Tell me where do I go to find it?

What has my arm gained
in the balance of things?
Are there still birds a flying
and a brushing of wings?

Or do they still be disguised,
still be disguised as a terrible thing?
And spoiling all their singing, babe and smashing up their wings?

I wish I could go with them, brother,
but of all things
It's only a stub of the original thing
that was there when I signed up
and I saluted my king!

Where? Tell me,
where do I go to find it?

(Instrumental Break)

I no longer saw color
Only gray, only gray (8X)

Dancing madly backwards
Dancing on a sea of air (4X)

(Outro & End)
