As guns of war resound and bombs descend
on innocents who strain against the foe,
a tyrant always loses at the end.
He wields his power, never as a friend,
but only to attain a fatal blow,
as guns of war resound and bombs descend.
He hopes to be immortal and will spend
his days with bloody plans to make it so.
A tyrant always loses at the end.
Behold his fear when death shall apprehend
his being for the grave where he must go
as guns of war resound and bombs descend.
The earth will live, for gentle time will mend
its many wounds and tears, and this I know,
a tyrant always loses at the end.
The bars of fate are strong and do not bend.
Then sound the trumpets; let the music flow.
As guns of war resound and bombs descend,
a tyrant always loses at the end.
