lyrics

You died that we’d live and be free
did you fight for that freedom in vain
are your dreams in the clay where you sleep
do your ghosts hang their heads down in shame
do we just mouth the words that you spoke
or endlessly boast of your deeds
but it’s easy to talk now you’re gone
or to sleep on another man’s wound
but it’s easy to talk now you’re gone
or to sleep on another man’s wound

The shrewd men all said you were fools
that your high talk was nothing but lies
but we can look back on it all
and tell now the fools from the wise
now the clever men call out your names
and we clap and applaud when they speak
but it’s easy to talk now you’re gone
or to sleep on another man’s wound
but it’s easy to talk now you’re gone
or to sleep on another man’s wound

Your own people spat in your face
it was you heard the mocks and the jeers
but your bodies lay cold in their graves
when the shouting too late turned to tears
now we’ll carve out your names on a stone
put your heads on a coin and a stamp
You died that we’d live and be free
You died that we’d live and be free
but it’s easy to talk now you’re gone
or to sleep on another man’s wound
