Goodbye the day that said the words
That none should ever hear
And brought a shadow to the land
That dealt this blow of fear
And the war lord stands (The war lord stands)
With an axe in his hand (fear)
Goodbye the day
And goodbye the ships that left the land
And sank beneath the sea
And laid the sailors in the deep
Where Death has paid their fee
And goodbye the fields of emptiness
Where all our sons were slain
And only ghostly battle cries (cries, cries)
Rise up and live again
And goodbye the grave that told the tale
Of one who stayed behind
To build a generation
Of peace to all our kind
That none should ever hear
And brought a shadow to the land
That dealt this blow of fear
And the war lord stands (The war lord stands)
With an axe in his hand (fear)
Goodbye the day
And goodbye the ships that left the land
And sank beneath the sea
And laid the sailors in the deep
Where Death has paid their fee
And goodbye the fields of emptiness
Where all our sons were slain
And only ghostly battle cries (cries, cries)
Rise up and live again
And goodbye the grave that told the tale
Of one who stayed behind
To build a generation
Of peace to all our kind
