Battle Scars lyrics - The Chemical Brothers

There's no path to follow 

There's no path to follow 

There's a line in the sand 

Put there by a man 

By a man whose children who built the castles made of stone 

There's a man in the sky 

Giving reasons why 

That line grows deeper like these shackles round our bones 

Move on to my own 

Here come battle scars 

It's the final charge 

Here come battle scars 

There's a child born 

To a land of scorn 

Sneaks past the borders and the lords that hold his hand 

He was led like a lamb 

All part of the plan 

This castle crumbles as he walks out of this land 

Move on to my own 

Here come battle scars 

It's the final charge 

Here come battle scars 

This is what we own 

Here come battle scars 

This is where we are 

Here come battle scars 

There's no path to follow 

There's no path to follow 

There's no path to follow 

Living for the reasons 

of the dead that moved to 

paper from their heads 

into my fingers 

and my deadly view is 

strangled by the rent 

I have no purpose in this land 

have I forgotten how to stand up 

with the humor and the need 

I've got to find a way to be 

I just turn up the stereo 

I can't survive without the cold 

This culture's fallen off its feet 

I've got to find a brand new beat 

beat (beat) beat 

beat (beat) beat 

beat (beat) beat 

There's a road ahead 

'tween the live and dead 

Church bells are ringing like the panic in my head 

Step, step, one by one 

Walk into the setting sun 

Water's rising, rising fast 

History catching up at last 

Danger ahead, death behind 

No one to follow but old man time 

Time, time, take us back before the line was drawn 

Before the sky turned black.
