lyrics

Bloodshed in Sarajevo
The summer of 1914
Ignite the fuse in the Balkans
By an amateur assassin

Two bullets fired/ an heir expires
On St. Vitus Day
The pull of alliances
A conflict comes to stay

They would call it “the great war”
A grin placed on Ares’s face
As declarations are made
Millions march into place
The lights are going out
This never seen catastrophe to be

So the August guns thunder…
To make the ages shudder…

“Its nothing” the archduke said
Before he pasted away
Lot cast, could Europe turn back?
After that fateful day

Agenda in Vienna
To finally crush the Serbs
With a blank check from the Kiser
Hapsburg ambition will not be curbed

Enter the Russian colossus
Committed to Slavic interests
Provoking the German war machine
Into a conflict they are intent to see

The west is watching and waiting
Preparing for the war to pass
While national pride is in all their minds
There are those filled with dread





They would call it “the great war”
A grin placed on Ares’s face
As declarations are made
Millions march into place
The lights are going out
This never seen catastrophe to be

So the August guns thunder…
To make the ages shudder…

Solo: Max

Of glory and destiny
Mobilization has begun
Diplomats struggle in vain
Time table/ unable to restrain

Guest Solo: Joshua Murphy

July 28th/ The war is finally here
The Austro-Hungarians declare
Armies race to the fronts
On the railways they are brought

By August 4th all doubts are gone
Europe is now in arms
“You’ll be home by the fall” they say
As a world order is undone.

They would call it “the great war”
A grin placed on Ares’s face
As declarations are made
Millions march into place
The lights are going out
This never seen catastrophe to be

So the August guns would thunder…
To make the ages shudder…
