[@markwederell6574]

God bless Tony Clarkin… a true musician, songwriter and master lyricist. He will be sadly missed by many Magnum devotees…. Keep the night light burning wherever you are Tone!! 🙏🔥

RIP Tony Carkin, you penned some of the finest rock songs ever written.

[@andreasvoss8757]

One of their best songs ever.

The perfect anthem

[@matthewcaller694]

They are awesome... saw them live on this tour back in the day. Cracking band.

[@Snowdog2711]

One of the greatest anti-war songs ever written (probably only rivalled by Les Morts Dansant!)

[@hellion1967]

A grossly underrated band

This sounds for me as a mix of scorpions and marillion... Beautifull composition

It was the day that war broke out Everyone seemed excited While young men boasted And talked of great times Dark clouds gathered On the Maginot line Sisters and fathers Brothers and sons All said goodbye It seemed so much fun We'll be finished by Christmas Back home by the fire Perish the distance The bombs and the wire Don't wake the lion Don't wake the lion Don't wake the lion There's a firework show tonight Eveyone's been invited There's mud on faces With frightened white eyes And some won't make it Through the thunderous noise Powerful and angry Answer the guns All through the night Relief never comes It's criminal deception Sets man against man Indicting reflection A devious plan Don't wake the lion Don't wake the lion Don't wake the lion Father don't you leave Brother don't go Can't live without you, no Don't go, don't go Hear what they're saying Come the freeze You'd better hold on tight And while your praying On your knees Prepare to stand and fight Someone keeps saying It's written in a book So keep yourself in line But you're betraying With every nervous look That now it's killing time And from the morning to the night We tried They said it all would turn out right They lied, yes they lied Too old to die young Too big to cry Too old to die young To say goodbye Too old to die young Too big to cry, mama Too old to die young To say goodbye Above the raging evening sky Will never be the same While necks are straining Those hidden eyes Shoot out another flame And from the morning to the night We tried They said it all would turn out right They lied Yes, they lied, lied Too old to die young Too big to cry Too old to die young To say goodbye Too old to die young Too big to cry, mama Too old to die young To say goodbye While the angels sleep tonight Some of us will be hoping That someone understands Who started this fight Thrown down on foreign shores So far out of sight Don't wake the lion Don't wake the lion It was the day that war broke out Everyone seemed excited While young men boasted And talked of great times Dark clouds gathered It was a change for all times Sisters and fathers Brothers and sons All said goodbye It seemed so much fun We'll be finished by Christmas Back home by the fire Perish the distance The bombs and the wire Don't wake the lion Don't wake the lion Don't wake the lion Don't you wake the lion
