    Cheval de Guerre was from 1989- 1993 with several members. We went everywhere. Places like SanFrancisco and Ljubljana. I was always in the band and I wrote stuff.
    This performance we actually played as "Valdys Unborn Children" which is a purely canadian "joke" and we went to Bergen, Norway and played at HULEN, I did a solo at Manefisken(we couldn't afford the train fares) in Oslo, and then we played York. Reg was always in the band, and unlike many incarnations of Cheval de Guerre, i loved these guys. We had one fan for sure, Troy Tate. Thanks for coming out, Troy.

lyrics

I learned hope where there was no hope
and I learned love where there was no love
and you heard a voice where there was no voice
But I hear only wailing...
and the poor are a little quieter now
and the artists all are sleeping
and the sleep of reason produceth monsters*
and all the monsters are weeping...
In this modern world maybe despair is as close as we can come to hope and
maybe death is as close as we will ever come to life
and I hear a voice and it's wailing
Like all newly dead people some are going to blame you
but life without love is worthless and body grows tired and feeble
and every song is a prophecy and every song comes true
and I had a big black stolen mare and that's my only proof
mercantile america has buried another great poet
beneath the feet of the zombie sheep who never feel a thing
but I feel...
and everything hurts.
spring has ushered in a new age of darkness where neither song nor word can breathe
the hearts clenched tight as welfare cheque and the birds are dead on the wing
the little birds... are dead on the wing...

* Francisco Goya
