All things have a beginning and an end Four years have passed since first shots were fired Four empires are no more The machine of war is resting For now For this was not the war to end all wars Death, hard to ignore One million lost five months into the war Pain, fell one by one Three years remained, it had only begun Unable to restore A map redrawn Unlike what came before The future of warfare has dawned Do, what must be done Send off your son, life cut short by a gun Gas, cover the fields Gone with the wind, reveal lethal ideals And as the end draws near November dawn With losses so severe Cease-fire, their forces withdrawn Great war enter Front and centre Grand endeavour Lost forever Great war enter Front and centre Grand endeavour Lost forever And as the end draws near November dawn With losses so severe Cease-fire, their forces withdrawn November 11th settling the score From 15 to 20 million Almost half of the dead civilian A new world will dawn from empires fallen The end of the war to end war
