The tin soldiers retreated quietly
Because it was a stupid battle
In the battlefields behind the mountain
Something inside of them had broken
Between the smoke and the thorns
All the shouting had broken them apart
The tin soldiers retreated quietly
They wanted to stay alive
By the bank of the river
Where fire screamed and blood was spilled
Between the mines and hedges
Was this the beginning or the end?
Nothing remained
The battle that had ended on this narrow bridge
Bloodred borders, on these relentless fields
Relentless fields
The tin soldiers retreated quietly
Because they knew it was about time
They just wanted to get out of there
And go back into their box
Maybe they'll find some rest
Between the dominoes and dolls
The tin soldiers retreated quietly
Because it was a stupid battle
In the battlefields behind the mountain
Another shift was over
No, no, no, no
We don't want no medals
And play these war games with you
The battle that had ended on this narrow bridge
Bloodred borders, on these relentless fields
Relentless fields
