Set eyes ahead and hear the roll call through Six months at sea will bring the worst out in you Uneven roll of deepest water in the dark Is siren call to pierce the hardest of our hearts There's a body stowed inside With no judge or law in sight The rules out here are made to break Save your lover Save your soul Our lungs recover all the breaths we stole

Four Hours 02:45
Four hours gone We're not the only ones Who crave the kick of white hot lead To lay the bastards down Under a reddening sun We justify the oldest crimes through orders passed on down the line Four years on The iron of my youth is gone My limbs shake in imitation of The fear and hate we sowed Under that reddening sun The night hours cannot bring relief to those who live in fear of sleep If I die in a combat zone Box me up and ship me home Pin my medals to my chest Tell my girl I did my best I asked no questions and bought a lie And when all this is over I will sing my heart out

about

"But these are human beings, unarmed civilians, sir" - Hugh Thompson Jr.

Recorded in Edinburgh at 21Seven on the afternoon of the 14th October, 2014.

Music and lyrics by Paper Rifles (except the chorus to Four Hours which owes more than a little to the dehumanising process of late twentieth century US Army training and a certain film by Stanley Kubrick, and some magic from the hands of James Johnson in Made To Break).
