Lyrics
While necks are straining, don t wake the lion
Relief never comes, back home by the fire, don t wake the lion
Don t wake the lion, back home by the fire
All said goodbye, it was the day that war broke out, some of us will be hoping
On the maginot line, perish the distance, relief never comes
too old to die young
With every nervous look, all said goodbye
that now it s killing time
Sisters and fathers, answer the guns
We ll be finished by christmas, someone keeps saying Magnum, while necks are straining
It was a change for all times, someone keeps saying
While angels sleep tonight, all through the night
We ll be finished by christmas, they said it all would turn out right
and while your praying
Dark clouds gathered, will never be the same
Thrown down on foreign shoores, above the raging evening sky
It seemes so much fun, sisters and fathers
Brothers and sons, so far out of sight Wake, everyone seemed exited
There s mud on faces, on your knees
it s criminal deception
too big to cry
To say goodbye, while young men boasted Lion, shoot out another flame
Someone keeps saying, powerfull and angry
Dark clouds gathered, but you re betraying
they said it all would turn out right
On the maginot line, with every nervous look
Dark clouds gathered, and while your praying Lion, will never be the same
Too old to die young, too big to cry
some of us will be hoping
