The Battle's doneThe war is wonWe'll send our dead to the deepBeneath the starsWe'll tend our scarsAnd settle down to sleep Raise your drinks up to the skyWe'll wave this bitter war goodbyeWe're on our way, we're sailing home!With a cheer our ordeal endsWe'll see our family and friendsWe're on our way, we're sailing home! It's been a whileAnd many a mileWe've travelled to the foeWe've battled longAnd righted wrongsOr so the story goes Raise your drinks up to the skyWe'll wave this bitter war goodbyeWe're on our way, we're sailing home!With a cheer our ordeal endsWe'll see our family and friendsWe're on our way, we're sailing home! I left behind my one true loveI gave her my soul and heartAnd when I see herI'll kiss her lipsAnd never again will we part Raise your drinks up to the skyWe'll wave this bitter war goodbyeWe're on our way, we're sailing home!With a cheer our ordeal endsWe'll see our family and friendsWe're on our way, we're sailing home!

A soft rock ballad (or folk) about world weary mariners on their way home after war.
