The Alarm

Sixty Eight Guns (part II)

The Alarm


Up on the terrace I can hear the crowd roar 
Sixty Eight Guns
And in the subway I can hear them whisper 
Sixty Eight Guns
Through all the raging glory of the years 
We never once thought of the fears 
For what we'd do when the battle cry was over . 
Nothing lasts forever is all they seem to tell you when you're young 

(I do swear
To unbreak the promise
To unbreak the vow

Unbreak It)

When you're young
Have no illusion and no disillusion

Unbreak the promise
Unbreak the vow
Uphold the promise

SIXTY EIGHT GUNS

Sixty-eight Guns will never die
Sixty-eight Guns our battle cry
Sixty-eight Guns will never die
Sixty-eight Guns our battle cry
Sixty-eight Guns
Sixty-eight Guns
The sixty eight guns
Sixty eight guns
The sixty eight guns
