For anyone that's seen the movie - song at the end?

This question is for anyone that has seen the movie. I saw it at TIFF, thought it was great. There was a song at the very end, just before the credits rolled that has been with me since I saw it. I just wanted to know if anyone knows what it was, or what it is called so that I can find it. It was a slow, A Capella type song with just a man singing, no instrumental. The lyrics were something like "When the war ends". I've tried searching many possible variations on those lyrics but have come up empty. Any information would be very much appreciated. I'm hoping I don't have to wait until it actually gets released and watch it again before I figure out what the song is.

Wow thank you so much! That one line i could remember isn't even in the song much and isn't the main line so no wonder I couldn't find. Thank you so much I really appreciate it.

Oh god that song in the end was horrible and ruined the mood of the entire film.

I wonder what is the name of the song at the end of the film.

Poignant, and fabulously fitting, as they fight for their lives.

Every time I think of the lines:

Will you say that we were heroes
Or that fear of dying among strangers
Tore our innocence and false shame away

... I am in awe of this poetry -- of how it points up the indignities, and the fulfillments, of accepting the help of others.

OMW, thank you to every person who worked to put this movie together.
I agree wholeheartedly with all the comments - the song at the end - the words, has anyone found out what it is called or where to find the full poem?
Superbly done, poignant, empathy, truth, black-humour, fear, joy - exquisite.

Thanks for the link to the lyrics- a perfect song for this film. I particularly like that it's acapella, its seems very fitting.

"Gentlemen you can't fight in here!" "This is the war room!" Dr. Strangelove

The song at the end is "Tender Comrade - Billy Bragg". Exquisite!
