Awakened by Iraqi jets
There's tears in childrens' eyes
Who can stop this madness now
Before our own demise?
We're running out of time
Have we all lost our minds?
Is there nowhere else for us to go?
Don't know the reason why
Or when they're gonna die
Their lives go on day by day
Shiites in the forefront
Their religion stems their pride
The noble way to heaven
Is sought by suicide
Offshore the speedboats dare
A Tomcat thought in the air
Tragedy was only moments away
Identify, there's no return
Justify by what we've learned
Innocence was thrown into the sea, into the sea
(Chorus)
As the years go by
Eastern Guns won't die
Revolution cries
Eastern Guns alive
(solo)
8-20-88
The guns will fire no more
Ambition towards a new frontier
Regression back to war
Lebanon far and wide
Americans still trapped inside
Yearning for the day they'll all come home
Through the haze I've come to see
Symbols of our countries
Left alone--our flags will burn no more, no more
(Chorus)
As the years go by
Eastern Guns have died
Revolution cries
Eastern Guns have died
