Dire Straits ~ Brothers In Arms~

No Copyright Breach intended- Dire Straits ~ Bothers in Arms.

A friend of mine sent me this powerful Song, and I just want you to reflect upon the words of Mark Knopfler’s excellent performance of this Song. As it touched me deeply in light of what we now see unfurling again as  Nations go to War.

This was back in 1988 taken at Nelson Mandela’s Live concert in aid of celebrating his Birthday … Another country who that like the  man Mandela himself,  has known much suffering..

A country where by no United Nations came to aid its desperate people who were torn apart, murdered and tortured pillaged and raped and destroyed by tyrants in power.. But then maybe there was nothing to  be gained in empty fields of dried vegetation full of blood sweat and tears of people who tried to farm their lands.

And now once again we hear our leaders saying they are going to war to aid the plight of the Down Trodden, yes every one deserves to be helped I totally agree. But I wonder just what three lettered word persuaded them the most?

 

These Mist covered Mountains,

Are home now for me

But my home is the lowlands

And will always be

Someday you’ll return to your valleys

And your farms

And you’ll no longer burn to be Brothers in Arms

zxzxzxzxzxzxzxzxzxzx

Through these Fields of Destruction

Baptisms of Fire

I’ve witnessed your Suffering as the battles raged higher

And though they did hurt me so bad

In the Fear and Alarm

You did not desert me

My Brothers in Arms

There are so many different Worlds

So many Different Suns

And we have just One World

But we live in different ones.

zxzxzxzxzxzxzxzxzx

Now the Suns gone to Hell

And the Moons riding high

Let me bid you farewell

Every man has to die

But it’s written in the starlight

In every line on your palm

We’re Fools to make War on our

Brothers in Arms
