I opened my eyes in the dark stillness

Just as the sun peaked over the horizon

Crashing waves on the shore rising

And whispers had came down with the wind

Red flag ships sailing for the port to reach

Carrying only sadness and pain in their backs

I heard the siren’s echoes

And this is when they came

The screams of pain...

Look at the sky, wide eyes opened full of terror

Look planes, paratroopers they fly

We must run to the fight, leaving everything behind

The enemy’s soldiers are spreading death in their pass

Our reinforcements haven't arranged

Young boys to the guns, they are giving their lives for us

Sacrificed once more, our resistance has failed

Refugees of war, of summer 1974

Look lead still falling upon our heads

Desperate people and hollow screams

Leaving everything behind, stay and you’ll die

Deliberate abandonment of homeland

Empty streets, but still I’m watching our dead

Of the pictures of our past, ‘cause they are still haunting us

Sacrificed once more, our resistance has failed

Refugees of war, of summer 1974

Look lead still falling upon our heads

Desperate people and hollow screams

Leaving everything behind, stay and you’ll die

Deliberate abandonment of homeland

Empty streets, but still I’m watching our dead

Those pictures of our past, ‘cause they are still haunting us

Sacrificed once more, our resistance has failed

Refugees of war, of summer 1974
