On the road to Baghdad
Like so many more before me
The land where Abraham talked to God
Fertile with the spilt blood of a million lives
And I have come to die here now

I see the ghosts of Caesar’s legions
Marching through the haze
Greek, Ottoman and the English
Made their claim here too
The echoes of forgotten empires
Whisper in the wind
And I have come to die here now

They’ve all been here with blade and steel
But their chariots have crumbled into dust
The desert sands have erased their footsteps
And I have come to die here now
