Old soldiers talk about the battles fought
|
To build a better world for me and you.
|
They sacrificed their lives to make a dream come true.
|
Now they're forgotten men remembered by so few.
|
|
But the war is over and the fighting ended many years ago.
|
The war is over. The battle's won but what is there to show?
|
Side by side they marched together fighting so their children
|
Could be free,
|
To build a better world, a new society
|
All classes unified to live in harmony
|
|
Now the war is over so let's forget and leave the past alone.
|
The war is over, it's time for all the soldiers to go home.
|
|
Rich men, poor men make history,
|
Fighting for the land of hope and glory
|
A nation's voice will sing as one,
|
A battle cry until we've won
|
|
The was is over and the patriotic comrades are no more.
|
The war is over
|
Now they're going home to live just like before.
|
|
Arm in arm we sang our patriotic songs of love and sentiment.
|
Tears of joy to hide the sorrow,
|
New tomorrows till we meet again,
|
With a new world to build we'll say "auf Wiedersehn".
|
What did they do for us?
|
What did it prove to us?
|
As we stand beside the silent grave
|
The unknown soldier can't be saved.
|
|
The war is over
|
The war is over, it's time for all the soldiers to go home.
|
The war is over.
