Lyrics of This Is Why We Fight by The Decemberists
verse
Come the war
Come the avarice
Come the war
Come hell
verse
Come attrition
Come the reek of bones
Come attrition
Come hell
chorus
And this is why
Why we fight
Why we lie awake
This is why
This is why we fight
And when we die
We will die
With our arms unbound
This is why
This is why we fight
Come hell
verse
Bride of quiet
Bride of all unquiet things
Bride of quiet
Bride of hell
verse
Come the archers
Come the infantry
Come the archers
Of hell
chorus
And this is why
Why we fight
Why we lie awake
This is why
This is why we fight
And when we die
We will die
With our arms unbound
This is why
This is why we fight
Come hell
So come to me
Come to me now
Lay your arms around me
This is why
This is why we fight
Come hell
