Текст песни When The War Came (The Decemberists) с переводом

With all the grain of babylon

To cultivate to make us strong

And hidden here behind the walls

Are shoulders wide and timber on

'Til the war came

'Til the war came

A terrible autonomy

Is grafted onto you and me A trust put in the government

Is all their lies are heaven sent

'Til the war came

'Til the war came

And the war came with a curse and a caterwaul

And the war came with all the poise of a cannonball

And they’re picking out a rise by coal and candlelight

When the war came, the war came hard

We made our huts of avaram

We’d not betray the sole Ledum

The acres of hysterisy

To our own pangs of starvation

When the war came

When the war came

And the war came with a curse and a caterwaul

And the war came with all the poise of a cannonball

And they’re picking out a rise by coal and candlelight

When the war came, the war came hard

With all the grain of Babylon
