What a sad start to the day, What a sad start to the day, What a sad start to the day, What a sad start to the day.
What a sad start to the day, They're hanging another this morning, A boy of only fifteen, Though they claim he's a threat to the nation, And what it has become; Indoctrination, immaculate uniforms, Still they'll never know, How it can feel when you think for yourself.
And still the brave body falls, Like a heavy stone thrown into the water, For all the people to see, That our behaviour is not tolerated, But still, we may succeed, For their tanks and their cannons cannot run on water,
But out in the forest, The trees will disguise, So stoke up the fire and then, The edelweiss pirates survive
Alas I digress, I cannot ignore the law of this melody, That skips through my head, As a soldier boy runs home to his sweetheart.
And out in the forest, The trees will disguise, So stoke up the fire and then, The edelweiss pirates survive.
What a sad start to the day, What a sad start to the day, What a sad start to the day, What a sad start to the day.
What a sad start to the day, What a sad start to the day, What a sad start to the day, What a sad start to the day.
