Red August
(W Duncan & R Watson
| Loosen the bond that binds the fading empire of desire |
| Dusk will soon embrace the godless sky of crimson fire |
| And in the dark descending, no star to mark my way |
| Through lonely fields of silence comes the gray of distant day |
| Red August, Red August for better or worse |
| The citadel crumbles in the red August dust |
| Lunging blindly onward as the mighty engine dies |
| A million voices shout for joy while all the time I cry |
| Euphoria surrounds me turmoil flows in waves |
| New life beats in broken hearts but love fills many graves |
| Innocence is no escape no shelter from the pain |
| From lies and greed and careless men |
| Who break their word again |
| And again and again and again and again............. |
