Black September Letra

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
