A never ending cycle of war,,, from the view of a mother and her son... unfortunately many many people lose their lives to war from both genders and all faiths, colours and creeds... The Path He Chose: Florance/Mitton She takes down a photograph and she holds it to her breast just as she'd done the child it shows she remembers his hair and how it felt and she curses the path he chose with a boyish smile and happiness he picked the shilling and the gun and she looks back with fear and dread when he told her what he'd done Chorus like his father before him and his grandfather to he'll march to war to save me and you and have we learned nothing, nothing at all when will we stop sending young men to war yet she smiled and she waved him goodbye as only a mother can and if god was good if god was great she'd see him return home again but fickle fate it knows no god makes judgments where it will and IEDs don't discriminate 'bout who they maim or kill Chorus young sons often come home its true, fulfilling their mothers fears not with a boyish smile or happiness but draped in flags and a mothers tear Chorus, repeat 1st verse credits from the triple 'A' side, released 30 May 2014 Recorded at Folkstock Records Vocals/BVs/Guitar: Marina Florance Producer/Keyboard: Lauren Deakin Davies
