  S1:
  Must it take a life for hateful eyes 

  To glisten once again 

  Five hundred years like gelignite 

  Have blown us all to hell 

  What savior rests while on his cross we die 

  Forgotten freedom burns 

  Has the Shepherd led his lambs astray 

  To the bigot and the gun

  Must it take a life for hateful eyes 

  To glisten once again 

  Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess 

  Singin' drunken lullabies

  S2:
  I watch and stare as Roisin's eyes 

  Turn a darker shade of red 

  And the bullet with this sniper lie 

  In their bloody gutless cell 

  Must we starve on crumbs from long ago 

  Through bars these men made steel 

  Is it a great or little thing we fought 

  Knelt the conscience blessed to kill

  B1:
  Ah, but maybe it's the way we were taught 

  Or maybe it's the way we thought 

  But a smile never grins without tears to begin 

  For each kiss is a cry we all lost

  R2:
  Though nothing is left to gain 

  But for the banshee that stole the grave 

  Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess

  S3:
  I sit in and dwell on faces past 

  Like memories seem to fade 

  No color left, but black and white 

  And soon we'll all turn grey 

  But may these shadows rise to walk again 

  With lessons truly learnt 

  When the blossom flowers in each our hearts 

  Shall beat a new found flame
