Don’t Wake The Lion-Magnum

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 >From the L.P.
