The War to End All Wars
The war to end all wars begins when the monarchs bicker and fight
They call forth their bannermen to enact what they deem right
They ask us to make the sacrifice
How many lives will suffice
But still, we kill, who knows what for, in the war to end all wars
Man the ropes, Man the guns
Keep high hopes no matter what comes
Man, beast, or machine of war
Keep nimble and swift, on waves we soar
When we are free again
Who knows how, who knows when but
We will be free once more
After the war to end all wars
The war to end all wars--they say--is the last one of its kind
They dig deep into our souls, who knows what they may find
We do what they ask 'cause we have no right
To try to put up a fight
But still, we kill, who knows what for, in the war to end all wars
Bear the wind and the scorching sun
Head held high no matter what comes
Fey, fiend, however tall
We cut them down and down they fall
When we are free again
From the clutches of selfish angry men
(Who knows how, who knows when, but)
We will settle the score
After the war to end all wars
So now, we journey off to sea away from war-ridden lands
They took us from our family
We may never see again
Maybe one day they'll be by our side
Alive or in afterlife
For now, we fight under oaths we swore
In the war to end all wars
Feel in our hearts that the day has arrived
With steel we depart bearing weight of those who died
Of those who died
Bear the wind and the scorching sun
(Man the ropes, Man the guns)
Head held high no matter what comes
(Keep high hopes no matter what comes)
Fey, fiend, however tall
(Man, beast, or machine of war)
We cut them down and down they fall
(Keep nimble and swift, on waves we soar)
When we are free again
(When we are free again)
From the clutches of selfish angry men
(Who knows how, who knows when, but)
We will settle the score
(We will be free once more)
After the clashing steel, booming blast
This day might just be our last
Good men to my left and right
Just given a sword and told to fight
Today we'll claim our freedom
We'll fight no more and then be done
We'll leave the salt and seas
We'll see our families
We'll be free forevermore
After the war to end all wars
They call forth their bannermen to enact what they deem right
They ask us to make the sacrifice
How many lives will suffice
But still, we kill, who knows what for, in the war to end all wars
Man the ropes, Man the guns
Keep high hopes no matter what comes
Man, beast, or machine of war
Keep nimble and swift, on waves we soar
When we are free again
Who knows how, who knows when but
We will be free once more
After the war to end all wars
The war to end all wars--they say--is the last one of its kind
They dig deep into our souls, who knows what they may find
We do what they ask 'cause we have no right
To try to put up a fight
But still, we kill, who knows what for, in the war to end all wars
Bear the wind and the scorching sun
Head held high no matter what comes
Fey, fiend, however tall
We cut them down and down they fall
When we are free again
From the clutches of selfish angry men
