The War Still Goes On-Show Must Go On (Queen)
THIS SONG IS SUNG BY A GREEK CHORUS OF THE PEOPLE IN DESPAIR BEFORE THE 1630S
-- Dark tradition..
.to conform is law;
the Inquisition...
wounds they inflict still raw...
On and on,
does anybody want to take it anymore?
Catholicism
is mandatory now;
forced conformism...
who'll tell our story now?
On and on,
does anybody want to take it anymore?
(CHORUS)
The war still goes on...
The war still goes on...
Our homes and minds are breaking,
the world we know still quaking from the war...
that goes on...
***********
Whatever happens
there will be no escape,
another tyrant
breathing down our nape...
On and on,
does anybody want to take it anymore?
Guess we're learning
not to give a hoot,
we'll soon be turning
to the sound of their flute...
On and on,
does anybody want to take it anymore?
(CHORUS)
The war still goes on...
The war still goes on...
Our homes and minds are breaking,
the world we know still quaking from the war...
that goes on...
***********
Our souls are tainted and desire they could fly...
Fairytales of yesterday will show the reason why...
Should we die, my friends?
**************
(CHORUS)
The war still goes on...
The war still goes on...
Take this in stride,
no suicide
we have to find the side on which to stand...
On with the war...
with the war...
The war still goes on!
