Ha**e Rosbach - Eli Geva lyrics

The dogs of war are loose again Cold blows the wind to me And widows weep for fallen men For fallen men they weep again Cold blows the wind to me Again the ravens rule the skies Cold blows the wind to me With hacking beaks and hungry cries With hungry cries they wheel the skies Cold blows the wind to me We heard the march of army boots Cold blows the wind to me Until they stopped outside Beirut Outside Beirut we heard them shoot Cold blows the wind to me But then up spoke a colonel bold The finest in the land Said: "If orders come to take the town I cannot obey their command I cannot follow them" So when at last the order came Cold blows the wind to me The world knew Eli Geva's name The world knew Eli Geva's name Stood up against that cold, cold wind Come blow his name to me
