Synesthesia

I′m sending you a letter
Because I don't think there′s much time
Time to clear the cobwebsTime to bear the crime

It's only a number
It's only a death
Another soldier died in action
The telegram regrets

It′s only a number
It′s only a death
Another soldier died in action
The telegram regrets

I'm lying on a stretcher
They′re lying to my face
There's no-one left to help me
I′m just a waste of space

It's only a number
It′s only a death
Another soldier died in action
The telegram regrets

It's only a number
It's only a death
Another soldier died in action
The telegram regrets

It′s a matter of moments
I′ll be dead before you've read
There′s blood on the table
And my back is full of lead

It's only a number
It′s only a death
Another soldier died in action
The telegram regrets

It's only a number
It′s only a death
Another soldier died in action
The telegram regrets

It's only a number
It's only a death
Another soldier died in action
The telegram regrets

It′s only a number
It′s only a death
Another soldier died in action
The telegram regrets
