  1. I think these lyrics express the horrors of war, from the eyes of a soldier (The singer/songwriter was a soldier in the balkans when he wrote the song.) I have been listening to it, and I really like it. But it deffinately speaks to me.

     

    James Blunt - No Bravery Lyrics

     

    There are children standing here,

    Arms outstretched into the sky,

    Tears drying on their face.

    He has been here.

    Brothers lie in shallow graves.

    Fathers lost without a trace.

    A nation blind to their disgrace,

    Since he's been here.

     

    And I see no bravery,

    No bravery in your eyes anymore.

    Only sadness.

     

    Houses burnt beyond repair.

    The smell of death is in the air.

    A woman weeping in despair says,

    He has been here.

    Tracer lighting up the sky.

    It's another families' turn to die.

    A child afraid to even cry out says,

    He has been here.

     

    And I see no bravery,

    No bravery in your eyes anymore.

    Only sadness.

     

    There are children standing here,

    Arms outstretched into the sky,

    But no one asks the question why,

    He has been here.

    Old men kneel and accept their fate.

    Wives and daughters cut and raped.

    A generation drenched in hate.

    Yes, he has been here.

     

    And I see no bravery,

    No bravery in your eyes anymore.

    Only sadness.
