Lyrics

[00:06.66] Old soldiers talk about the battles fought
[00:11.09] To build a better world for me and you
[00:17.70] They sacrificed their lives to make a dream come true
[00:25.62] .Now they're forgotten men remembered by so few
[00:24.67]
[00:34.05] But the war is over and the fighting ended many years ago.
[00:41.66] The war is over
[00:45.38] The battle's won but what is there to show?
[00:49.23] Side by side they marched together fighting so their children
[00:55.76] Could be free
[00:59.10] ,To build a better world, a new society
[01:06.48] All classes unified to live in harmony
[01:14.92] Now the war is over so let's forget and leave the past alone.
[01:22.66] The war is over
[01:26.66] it's time for all the soldiers to go home
[01:37.75] Rich men, poor men make history
[01:41.21] Fighting for the land of hope and glory
[01:45.00] A nation's voice will sing as one
[01:54.86] A battle cry until we've won
[02:17.16] The was is over and the patriotic comrades are no more
[02:24.40] The war is over
[02:27.80] Now they're going home to live just like before
[02:32.24] Arm in arm we sang our patriotic songs of love and sentiment
[02:43.22] Tears of joy to hide the sorrow
[02:46.86] ,New tomorrows till we meet again
[02:52.88] With a new world to build we'll say auf weidersein
[03:00.44] .What did they do for us?
[03:04.22] What did it prove to us?
[03:08.47] As we stand beside the silent grave
[03:11.16] The unknown soldier can't be saved
[03:16.70] The war is over
[03:24.06] The war is over
[03:27.77] it's time for all the soldiers to go home
[03:38.95] The war is over
[03:41.76]
