GUNNER TO THE END

When I leave this place of sorrow
To another world I will go
But if there’s no Arsenal in Heaven
I will be going down below

To my friends I beg to leave you
But someday we will meet again
I will return never to leave you
Being a gunner to the end

This has been a day to die for
And after the game we have won
Then we hear the choir of
gooners
Singing you the day is done

And when the evening dawn is calling
All the ground is colored red
And long after the night comes falling
All the goal words have been said

We have enjoyed the game together
Shared the passion for a while
Walked the barren roads of no silverware
But still, a gunner I remain

This has been a day to die on
And when my life is over and done
Here, my shirt will lay beside me
Beside the soulless carcass of my body.


Dedicated to all “die-hard” Arsenal fans who believe in a better tomorrow
