lyrics

Like an ember in the gloom.
Glimmers through this direful dark.
Hope yet shimmers from my tomb.
Summons forth a fiery spark.

Hang me high. Watch me fry.Electrocution!
Head held down until I drown. My execution!
Chains can't bind, open minds. REVOLUTION!
Rest assured there will come some retribution!

Show me hunger.Give me pain.
I'll not betray a single name!
We’re fighters for freedom- Relentless and brave,
Someday we may forgive them; But never shall forget!'

Truth would offer sweet release;
Now evil's drill seethes in my teeth.
When honesty can quell pain's fires;
Courageous are these noble liars!

You can...
Hang me high.Watch me fry. Electrocution!
Head held down until I drown. My execution!
Chains can't bind open minds.Revolution!
Rest assured there will come some retribution!

Show me hunger.Give me pain.
I'll not betray a single name!
We’re fighters for freedom- Relentless and brave,
Someday we may forgive them; But never shall forget!'

A wonderful mix of prog rock tinged with metal and a large helping of English folk music. Hippygeorge says this is worthy of being in your collection! hippygeorge
