| Old soldiers talk about the battles fought | |
| To build a better world for me and you. | |
| They sacrificed their lives to make a dream come true. | |
| Now they're forgotten men remembered by so few. | |
| But the war is over and the fighting ended many years ago. | |
| The war is over. The battle's won but what is there to show? | |
| Side by side they marched together fighting so their children | |
| Could be free, | |
| To build a better world, a new society | |
| All classes unified to live in harmony | |
| Now the war is over so let's forget and leave the past alone. | |
| The war is over, it's time for all the soldiers to go home. | |
| Rich men, poor men make history, | |
| Fighting for the land of hope and glory | |
| A nation's voice will sing as one, | |
| A battle cry until we've won | |
| The was is over and the patriotic comrades are no more. | |
| The war is over | |
| Now they're going home to live just like before. | |
| Arm in arm we sang our patriotic songs of love and sentiment. | |
| Tears of joy to hide the sorrow, | |
| New tomorrows till we meet again, | |
| With a new world to build we'll say auf weidersein. | |
| What did they do for us? | |
| What did it prove to us? | |
| As we stand beside the silent grave | |
| The unknown soldier can't be saved. | |
| The war is over | |
| The war is over, it's time for all the soldiers to go home. | |
| The war is over. |
