Burning
(Original lyrics for "Turning" from Les Miserables by Alain Boubil and
Claud Michelle Schonberg. This takes place at a battle during the war with
Karse.)
Did you see them
Going in the night
Heralds fresh from Haven
Who just couldn't win the fight?
Did you see them
Trying to survive?
All of their Companions
Who were with them when they died?
Did you see them burning side by side?
Who can help them?
No one in the land.
Nothing could prepare them
For the storm that was at hand.
They were schoolboys.
Never been to war..
Fighting in a battle that's been fought for years before.
Their deaths only evened up the score.
Nothing changes, but someday it will!
When it comes we know we'll have a purpose to fulfill.
One long story - war fought over lies.
Children lost their parents
And their parents lost their lives.
Fire burning - flame and ashes reaching
To the skies!
Burning, burning, burning in the skies.
Bodies turn to ashes and the ashes fill the skies.
Children burn - more come to take their place.
Fight and die, then fight and die and back where you began.
Round and round and back where you began!
