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
