Can't you hear the cannons roar?
Oh, the sound of war!
Can't you hear the people cry?
Oh, the sight of war!
Yes, I hear the cannons roar
And the bullets fly
And I see untimely death
Oh, the sight of war!
And I hear the widows cry
And the mothers weep
Lovers forever part
Oh, the sight of war!
Well, the night comes again
And the tears will fall
For the ones that bravely died
Oh, for you and I.
Let tomorrow come again
If there's to be peace
But if morning must bring war
Wish it would never be.
Well, the sun shall rise again
Shine on your back door
And it'll shine on the grave
Of the one I love.
Oh, the sound of war!
