Don't Wake the Lion (Too Old to Die Young) |
It was the day that war broke out |
Everyone seemed exited |
While young men boasted |
And talked of great times |
Dark clouds gathered |
On the Maginot line |
Sisters and fathers |
Brothers and sons |
All said goodbye |
It seemes so much fun |
We’ll be finished by Christmas |
Back home by the fire |
Perish the distance |
The bombs and the wire |
Don’t wake the lion |
There’s a firework show tonight |
Eveyone’s been invited |
There’s mud on faces |
With frightened white eyes |
And some won’t make it Throught the thunderous noise |
Powerfull and angry |
Answer the guns |
All through the night |
Relief never comes |
It’s criminal deception |
Sets man against man |
Indicting reflection |
A devious plan |
Don’t wake the lion |
Here what there saying |
Come the freeze |
You’d better hold on tight |
And while your praying |
On your knees |
Prepare to stand and fight |
Someone keeps saying |
It’s written in a book |
So keep yourself in line |
But you’re betraying |
With every nervous look |
That now it’s killing time |
And from the morning to the night |
We tried |
They said it all would turn out right |
They lied |
Too old to die young |
Too big to cry |
Too old to die young |
To say goodbye |
Above the raging evening sky |
Will never be the same |
While necks are straining |
Those hidden eyes |
Shoot out another flame |
And from the morning to the night |
We tried |
They said it all would turn out right |
They lied |
Too old to die young |
Too big to cry |
Too old to die young |
To say goodbye |
While angels sleep tonight |
Some of us will be hoping |
That someone understands |
Who started this fight? |
Thrown down on foreign shoores |
So far out of sight |
Don’t wake the lion |
It was the day that war broke out |
Everyone seemed exited |
While young men boasted |
And talked of great times |
Dark clouds gathered |
It was a change for all times |
Sisters and fathers |
Brothers and sons |
All said goodbye |
It seemes so much fun |
We’ll be finished by Christmas |
Back home by the fire |
Perish the distance |
The bombs and the wire |
Don’t wake the lion |
