1974 Lyrics

I opened my eyes in the dark stillness
Just as the sun peaked over the horizon
Crashing waves on the shore rising
And whispers had came down with the wind
Red flag ships sailing for the port to reach
Carrying only sadness and pain in their backs
I heard the siren's echoes
And this is when they came
The screams of pain...

Look at the sky, wide eyes opened full of terror
Look planes, paratroopers they fly
We must run to the fight, leaving everything behind
The enemy's soldiers are spreading death in their pass
Our reinforcements haven't arranged
Young boys to the guns, they are giving their lives for us

Sacrificed once more, our resistance has failed
Refugees of war, of summer 1974

Look lead still falling upon our heads
Desperate people and hollow screams
Leaving everything behind, stay and you'll die
Deliberate abandonment of homeland
Empty streets, but still I'm watching our dead
Of the pictures of our past, ‘cause they are still haunting us

Sacrificed once more, our resistance has failed
Refugees of war, of summer 1974

Look lead still falling upon our heads
Desperate people and hollow screams
Leaving everything behind, stay and you'll die
Deliberate abandonment of homeland
Empty streets, but still I'm watching our dead
Those pictures of our past, ‘cause they are still haunting us

Sacrificed once more, our resistance has failed
Refugees of war, of summer 1974
