Allentown Punx
Echoes of Battle and Redemption: Allentown Punx Unveiled
Lyrics
I met up with an old friend down near an old street sign
Meeting with an old friend near an old street sign.
He said to bring the whiskey boy and I'll bring the wine
Friend suggests bringing whiskey and wine for a gathering.
I asked him why'd you do it man?
Asking the friend about a betrayal, questioning why he stabbed someone in the back.
Why'd you stab him in the back?
Seeking an explanation for the act of betrayal.
He said to never mind on that, let's get this back on track
Friend dismisses the betrayal, suggesting to move forward and focus on getting things back on track.
That's when we fought for the war
Reference to fighting in a war.
We fought for the rain
Fighting for something symbolized by "rain."
We fought for everything
Fighting for various things in life.
Ya know it goes away
Recognition that everything eventually fades away.
That's how we sing it
Expressing the experience through singing.
The smoke was hanging heavy in the air that night
Describing a night with thick smoke in the air.
So, we went down to the corner store and had ourselves a bite
Heading to a corner store for food during the night.
Yeah, we drank a bunch of beers
Consuming a significant amount of beer.
We watched ourselves a fight
Observing a fight while drinking.
That was the very last time that we tried to get it right
Reflecting on a failed attempt to make things right, marking it as the last time.
That's when we fought for the war
Reiteration of fighting in a war.
We fought for the rain
Fighting for something symbolized by "rain" again.
We fought for everything
Continued fight for various aspects of life.
Ya know it goes away
Acknowledging the transient nature of everything.
That's how we sing it
Reiterating the expression of experiences through singing.
