lyrics

They’ll find his body in the gutter,
Suicide, they’ll say, but it was murder,
They will blame it, on his brain disorder,
A few condolences, then everything’s over

They’ll find her body by the harbour,
Tragedy, they’ll say, but it was murder,
They will declare, she was a subverter,
Just a few prayers, then call her a liar


People start to reclaim
Without compromising
But the fear, the shame
Is truly paralyzing

Go back inside,
Don’t open the door,
Let them fight
For what you stand for

We are hiding and,
We hear, under our sheets
The cries, the screams,
In the streets

Cars burning,
Order is collapsing,
It might be time
But we’re still conforming


People start to pour out
By the thousands
It is time, no doubt
But you can’t decide, and

Stay inside
And bar the door
Let them fight,
For what you stand for

As we’re still hiding,
We hear, under our sheets
The cries, the screams,
In the streets

Boots on the pavement,
The sound of enslavement,
You might be next,
Just be patient


They’ll find their bodies in the water,
Accident, they’ll say, but it was murder,
They’ll grab their guns, they’ll draw satire,
Because blind obedience, is all they require

They’ll shoot their bodies by the border,
Invasion, they’ll say, but it was murder,
Vision of corpses tangled in barbed wire,
Would they be enough, to start the fire ?


Somewhere, sometimes
Written between the lines,
We will see the sun shine and
Everything will be

Somewhere, something,
It won’t be for nothing,
Just before the sunshine,
And everything will be
fine


In our dreams we see
The faces of the ones who fell,
And those who came after to tell,
It’s not over till we’re all free

Everybody dies in vain
Either the cautious or the bold
For all the stories they could have told
Were filled with hope we can’t retain
