Winter of '69

I got my first real chakram
Stole it from a treasure trove
Flung it till my fingers bled
It was the winter of '69

Me and some guys from home
Had an army and we fought real hard
Theo died and Jody got maimed
I never knew I'd go so far

Oh when I look back now
That winter seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - I'd never wanna be there
Those were the worst days of my life

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a war to fight
Spent my days lootin' and pillagin'
And then I met Ares.

Standin' on his temple's porch
He told me that he'd waited forever
Oh and when he held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the worst days of my life

Back in the winter of '69

Gods, I was killing all the time
I was young and restless
I needed to unwind
I'm glad nothing can last forever...forever, yeah!

And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I fling that old chakram
I think about Ares and wonder what went wrong

Standin' on his temple's porch
He told me he'd waited forever
Oh the way he held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the worst days of my life

Back in the winter of '69
