Drums are drizzling on a grain of sand

  Fading rhythms of a fading land
 Prove your courage in the proud parade
 Trust your leaders where mistakes are almost never made
 
 And they're afraid that I'm afraid
 I'm afraid the war is over
 It's over, it's over
 Angry artists painting angry signs
 Use their vision just to blind the blind
 Poisoned players of a grizzly game
 One is guilty and the other gets the point to blame
 Pardon me if I refrain
 I declare the war is over
 It's over, it's over
 So do your duty, boys, and join with pride
 Serve your country in her suicide
 Find the flags so you can wave goodbye
 But just before the end even treason might be worth a try
 This country is to young to die
 I declare the war is over
 It's over, it's over
 
 One-legged veterans will greet the dawn
 And they're whistling marches as they mow the lawn
 And the gargoyles only sit and grieve
 The gypsy fortune teller told me that we'd been deceived
 You only are what you believe
 
 I believe the war is over
 It's over, it's over
