Need Not Turn

Down in a valley, green where the floor was lean
Didn’t give their blessing
Down by a crimson stream, an eternal dream
A soldier resting
Stare into the burning sun
Now my dear, you need not turn
Stare into the burning sun
Now my dear, you need not turn
away
Lay down your terror
Lay down your dread
Lay down your panic
Lay down your head
Turn on a bed of gold
Where the shadows roam
Never so graceful
There in the dead of day
Where his body lay
Never so peaceful
Stare into the burning sun
Now my dear, you need not turn
Stare into the burning sun
Now my dear, you need not turn
away
