Artillery shells start to fly,

Fires illuminate the sky

The dance with death begins,

In a battle no one wins

The cannons continue to pound,

pummeling every inch of ground

The streets melt away,

yet they fight another day

(sub-chorus)

The Church bells begin to sound

A call to god to save this town

Graveyards fill there's no more space

The whole city's laid to waste

(chorus)

Your spirits forever haunt these streets

Brave ghosts of Vukovar

All is silent, there is no more war

Brave ghosts of Vukovar

Fight to survive their only hope,

the noose tightened around their throat

87 days until the end,

when none were left to defend

Sense of humanity lost,

blood of a nation the cost

Yet the tower, it still stands, a symbol to the heroes of this land
