Вступление
[Verse 1]
Call me what you will
And tell me what they say
For tomorrow brings a new wind
And the rain has gone away
For within these walls I see the sun
As it shines o'er the hills
Down between the valleys
And amongst the daffodils
[Refrain]
But when this war is over and I see your face again
Then I´ll tell you of the warriors who put death before revenge
[Verse 2]
Now here we starve in prison to support our fellow men
Who've only have a woollen blanket
And a crucifix in their hand
Bitter screws harass and give them hell
but their spirits they cannot break
Hold you chins up, keep marching on
We don't think she'll not leave it too late
[Refrain]
But when this war is over and I see your face again
Then I´ll tell you of the warriors who put death before revenge
[Verse 3]
Bobby was the first to go with Francis close behind
The people streamed onto the streets
To have faith was not a crime
And faith is what those men had
When they chose to join our fight
Their actions were political
Can't the British see we were right?
[Refrain]
But when this war is over and I see your face again
Then I´ll tell you of the warriors who put death before revenge
[Verse 4]
The days rolled by and two more died, O´Hara and McCreesh
Yet Thatcher chose to bite her lip
The toil was not to cease
Still the barricades went up by day
And the bullets hung by night
How much longer must we keep this path?
There's still no end in sight
[Refrain]
But when this war is over and I see your face again
Then I´ll tell you of the warriors who put death before revenge
[Verse 5]
It´s a dreadful thing that these men joined
Our ranks of martyred brave
That´s ten too many coffin nails
Kicked coldly to their graves
But if they only realised
Then Thatcher, mark us well
They are ten more determined reasons
For to break out of this hell
(Refrain)
But when this war is over and I see your face again
Then I´ll tell you of the warriors who put death before revenge
[Outro]
