He used to carry his heart in his open hand
But sometime ago
He gave it to anyone he grew to love
Like the night turns to day it would come and go
Till one day it returned
Grossly brutalized and viciously torn
The only heart that he'd ever own
The one that he once held in his open hand
Know in his fist he would hold
Keep your head down
Forget what you feel
Cause where there was love
It's pain now I feel
So this is what this war is for
No wonder no-one wants to fight any more
Now he's loading his heart in a gun
Only this time he'll go off on anyone
Who looks like an enemy spy
You know you can never be to sure with their kind
So please excuse me if I seem disturbed
But most of the men are growing cold
And most of them don't even know who their shooting at anymore
Keep your head up
Forget what you feel
Cause where your going is the final frontier
You must raise that fist up high
Cause if you fall you must never let your heart down
Now you know why
Now you know why
Now you know why
Now you know why
This is my heart now
Keep your heads up
Forget what you feel
Cause where your going there are no frontiers
You must keep that fist up high
Cause oh dear brother no ones coming out of this alive
Now you know why
