Текст песни Don't Wake The Lion

Don't Wake the Lion By Magnum.

------------------------------

It was the day that war broke out

Everyone seemed exited

While young men boasted

And talked of great times

Dark clouds gathered

on the Maginot line

Sisters and fathers

Brothers and sons

All said goodbye

It seemes so much fun

We'll be finished by Christmas

Back home by the fire

Perish the distance

The bombs and the wire

Don't wake the lion

There's a firework show tonight

Eveyone's been invited

There's mud on faces

With frightened white eyes

And some won't make it

Throught the thunderous noise

Powerfull and angry

Answer the guns

All through the night

Relief never comes

It's criminal deception

Sets man against man

Indicting reflection

A devious plan

Don't wake the lion

Here what there saying

Come the freeze

You'd better hold on tight

And while your praying

On your knees

Prepare to stand and fight

Someone keeps saying

It's written in a book

So keep yourself in line

But you're betraying

With every nervous look

That now it's killing time

And from the morning to the night

We tried

They said it all would turn out right

They lied

Too old to die young

Too big to cry

Too old to die young

To say goodbye

Above the raging evening sky

Will never be the same

While necks are straining

Those hidden eyes

Shoot out another flame

And from the morning to the night

We tried

They said it all would turn out right

They lied

Too old to die young

Too big to cry

Too old to die young

To say goodbye

While angels sleep tonight

Some of us will be hoping

That someone understands

Who started this fight ?

Thrown down on foreign shoores

So far out of sight

Don't wake the lion

It was the day that war broke out

Everyone seemed exited

While young men boasted

And talked of great times

Dark clouds gathered

It was a change for all times

Sisters and fathers

Brothers and sons

All said goodbye

It seemes so much fun

We'll be finished by Christmas

Back home by the fire

Perish the distance

The bombs and the wire

Don't wake the lion
