Lyrics
It's over now
The guns have flowed
The nightmare flashed
On a cradel road,
As the guilty rain came down.
No child to hold
Through anxious fears
No gentle hand
To catch the tears
That soak the ancient ground.
The smile that breaks so gently
Belies a troubled head
Like a voice that holds the secrets
Of the life you might have led,
Eyes with pale indifference
In danger and in grace
But the glance that knows the death-knell
Left its shadow on your face.
In the deep enduring darkness
As your loyal friends go down
Touched by the violent crown
'Till their their hunter's,hunted down.
Ch. And it's over now............
The web is slowly woven
The endless dreamer shed,
In the dawn the curfew is broken
On the sunday mornings' dead.
Centuries of thunder
Take the Castle in the flood
To the cold night air of
London Where your hands are bound in blood.
Mid winter deepened As the parting turned inside
A thousand times you cried
But the shadow never died.
And it's over now
The guns have flowed
The nightmare flashed
On a cradel road,
As the guilty rain came down.
No child to hold
Through anxious fears
No gentle hand
No graceful years
Just bitter ancient ground.
But it's over now.
