Black September lyrics

The angry moon of august hung
As i wrapped myself in you
The winds of war had cut into
As i tried to fight the truth
And in that time i lost my youth
And now i bear the scars
With black september comin` on
You know you won`t get far

Destruction lay before my eyes
In a generation beat
We seemed to be too high to see
What was dying in the street
We thought we`d change the world back then
Without becoming hard
With black september comin` on
You know you won`t get far

We thought back then we`d be there now

How could i know what waits for me
How could i be so cruel
To know the best of days gone by
And the something i would lose
I watch the tides of summer fade
In memories `neath the dark
With black september comin` on
You know you won`t get far
