[Verse]
At first, the war was hard and fast
We shot the young ones in the grass
Somehow, they shot our fathers' hearts
At first, the war was hard and fast

[Verse]
And then the war was fast and strange
The men I knew began to change
Fought side by side with people who
They said had died before they knew

[Chorus]
All the time and all the worlds
All the kings and all the earls
All the cows and all the churls
All the boys and all the girls
In the time war

[Verse]
And then the war was strange and long
The men I knew had all been gone
I never knew how far they'd come
And then the war was strange and long

[Verse]
And now the war is long and slow
We find the young ones in the snow
Their children's children never know
And now the war is long and slow

[Bridge]
Time takes everything you have
It breaks your heart, and then you laugh
It tears your world apart in half
Time takes everything you have
