Dead Moon - 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
