"Versailles" lyrics - SABATON
The war had been raging and ravaging for four years
Leaving millions of casualties from all sides
In the trenches of the frontline
People have asked the question:
What is the price of peace, how many more must die?
Exactly five years after the assassination of Franz Ferdinand
Germany is forced to sign an unconditional surrender
For the signing of the historical document
The French city of Versailles is chosen
[Chorus:]
Sign a treaty to change the world
Tensions fall and the peace unfurled
Nothing like what had come before
It's the deal, it's the treaty that will end the war
[Chorus:]
Sign a treaty to change the world
Tensions fall and the peace unfurled
Nothing like what had come before
It's the deal, it's the treaty that will end the war
A fragile but hopeful peace falls upon the European continent
America returns to their shores, Russia turn to their own matters
And the British Empire disbands their colonial forces
Parades are being held in victorious countries
The war that would end all wars is over
But not everyone agrees
In the underground, something is growing in the dark
Because for some, the war never ended
War will never entirely die, it will evolve, it will change, and war will return
Sooner, than we think
[Chorus:]
Sign a treaty to change the world
Tensions fall and the peace unfurled
Nothing like what had come before
It's the deal, it's the treaty that will end the war
[Chorus:]
Sign a treaty to change the world
Tensions fall and the peace unfurled
Nothing like what had come before
It's the deal, it's the treaty that will end the war
[Bridge:]
From a shot that will change the world
Tensions rise and the wars unfurled
Nothing like what had come before
It's the war that will end no war
[Bridge:]
From a shot that will change the world
Tensions rise and the wars unfurled
Nothing like what had come before
It's the war that will end no war
[Outro:]
Will this war be the end of wars?
Can a war be the end of war?
Will this war bring another war?
It's the war that will end all wars
Will this war be the end of wars?
Can a war be the end of war?
Will this war bring another war?
It's the war that will end all wars
Will this war be the end of wars?
Can a war be the end of war?
Will this war bring another war?
It's the war that will end all wars
Will this war be the end of wars?
Can a war be the end of war?
Will this war bring another war?
It's the war that will end all wars
