Big Country - Lost Patrol lyrics
We lay the night in anguish, snakes drawn out by the tide
 The compass of decision falls always on one side
 But many went before us and still the cries are clear
 There is no beauty here, just the stench of wine and beer
 We save no souls
 We break no promises
 We can do nothing more than move headlong through the gloom
 The thorn between our lips is the missionaries tune
 Our men with open arms turn their faces half awayBig Country - Lost Patrol - http://motolyrics.com/big-country/lost-patrol-lyrics.html
 Observe as we approach that we have not come to save
 We stand as thick as vines though the fruit is torn away
 There is no beauty here, friends, just death and dark decay
 We save no souls
 We break no promises
 We save no souls
 We break no promises
