See the shattered man of war
Standing off a foreign shore
Straining under sail and oar
To break off the engagement
Shrouds and rigging on the deck
Mizzen split, her rudder wrecked
Men and timber shot to shreds
Abandoning her station...
For you the war is over
Defeat is no surrender for the brave
We'll meet again in peacetime
It's time to live and fight another day
Aboard a fortress in the flak
A daylight raider limping back
Starboard engine burning black...
Freezing in the ether
Ammunition running low
Another hundred miles to go
A hostile continent below...
Looming up to meet her
For you the war is over
Defeat is no surrender for the brave
We'll meet again in peacetime
It's time to live and fight another day
Tonight I'm trying to fight my way back home to you
I feel as if I'm sinking like a stone
The friendly lights of freedom seem so far away
I feel like I'm a hundred miles from home...
For you the war is over
Defeat is no surrender for the brave
We'll meet again in peacetime
It's time to live and fight another day
The war is almost over
The lights of freedom seem so far away
We'll meet again in peacetime
Just trying to survive another day
The war is over...
The war is over...
