"Athens To The North" lyrics

"Athens To The North"

Black smoke rising to the sky
Step aside and shield your eyes
I'll wake you when the war is over
And in the end when it's me and you
We're gonna build the world as new
I'll wake you when the war is over

From the brick built cities of the north
Stoke the fire, scorch the earth
'Cause we're the boys and the girls of the new brigade
We're never giving up the fight

This world has got so much to give
We only got so long to live
I'll wake you when the war is over
We're gonna fight, we're gonna crawl
We're walking out of this a-standing tall
I'll wake you when the war is over

From the brick built cities of the north
Stoke the fire, scorch the earth
'Cause we're the boys and the girls of the new brigade
We're never giving up the fight

Stand by me and I'll stand by you
Say the word and I'll do what you need me to

Black smoke rising to the sky
Another day is going to pass us by
I'll wake you when the war is over
And all the places we may roam
From land or sea or foam
I'll wake you when the war is over

From the brick built cities of the north
Stoke the fire, scorch the earth
'Cause we're the boys and the girls of the new brigade
We're never giving up the fight

I'll wake you when the war is over
I'll wake you when the war is over
I'll wake you when the war is over
I'll wake you when the war is over
And I'll wake you when the war is over
