End of the Summer
It was the end of the summer
It was the end of the road
Tears filled their eyes
As their hearts turned to stone
And friendships were formed
As the blood river flowed
It was the end of the summer
It was the end of the road
A cannon's roar lit up the night
And broke the silence and tranquillity
And filled them all with fright
The battle cry then echoed round
And hearts were filled with dread
As hell broke loose from all around
How many have to die, how many have to fall
How many really knew just what they're fighting for
It was the end of the summer
It was the end of the road
Tears filled their eyes
As their hearts turned to stone
And friendships were formed
As the blood river flowed
It was the end of the summer
It was the end of the road
Ten thousand men, or maybe more
Appeared before them on the skyline
And their hearts sunk to the floor
They saw their lives flash before their eyes
And for their flag and for their country
They were quite prepared to die
Their bravery is etched upon the hands of time
But our inability to learn from them's a crime
It was the end of the summer
It was the end of the road
Tears filled their eyes
As their hearts turned to stone
And friendships were formed
As the blood river flowed
It was the end of the summer
It was the end of the road
Their story will live on through history
Through song and verse for all of time
So generations avoid war
Freedom returns here as before
For you and me
It was the end of the summer
It was the end of the road
Tears filled their eyes
As their hearts turned to stone
And friendships were formed
As the blood river flowed
It was the end of the summer
It was the end of the road
It was the end of the road
Tears filled their eyes
As their hearts turned to stone
And friendships were formed
As the blood river flowed
It was the end of the summer
It was the end of the road
A cannon's roar lit up the night
And broke the silence and tranquillity
And filled them all with fright
The battle cry then echoed round
And hearts were filled with dread
As hell broke loose from all around
How many have to die, how many have to fall
How many really knew just what they're fighting for
It was the end of the summer
It was the end of the road
Tears filled their eyes
As their hearts turned to stone
And friendships were formed
As the blood river flowed
It was the end of the summer
It was the end of the road
Ten thousand men, or maybe more
Appeared before them on the skyline
And their hearts sunk to the floor
They saw their lives flash before their eyes
And for their flag and for their country
They were quite prepared to die
Their bravery is etched upon the hands of time
But our inability to learn from them's a crime
It was the end of the summer
It was the end of the road
Tears filled their eyes
As their hearts turned to stone
And friendships were formed
As the blood river flowed
It was the end of the summer
It was the end of the road
Their story will live on through history
Through song and verse for all of time
So generations avoid war
Freedom returns here as before
For you and me
It was the end of the summer
It was the end of the road
Tears filled their eyes
As their hearts turned to stone
And friendships were formed
As the blood river flowed
It was the end of the summer
It was the end of the road
