G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
E
To glisten once again
C
Five hundred years like Gelignite
E D
Have blown us all to hell
G
What savior rests while on his cross we die
E
"Forgotten Freedom Burns"
C
Has the Shepard led his lambs astray
E D
to the bigot and the gun
C G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
C D
To glisten once again
G E
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
G D G
Singin' drunken lullabies

G
I watch and stare as Rosin`s eyes
E
Turn a darker shade of red
C
And the bullet with this sniper lie
E D
In their bloody gutless cell
G
Must we starve on crumbs from long ago
E
Through these bars these men made steel
C
Is it a great or little thing we fought
E D
Knelt the conscience blessed to kill
C G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
C D
To glisten once again
G E
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
G D G
Singin' drunken lullabies
C D G
Ah, but maybe it`s the way you were taught
C D G
Or maybe it`s the way we fought
C D B G
But a smile never grins without tears to begin
C D G
For each kiss is a cry we all lost
C G
Though nothing is left to gain
C D
But for the banshee that stole the grave
G E
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
G D G
Singin' drunken lullabies

G
I sit in and dwell on faces past
E
Like memories seem to fade
C
No colour left but black and white
E D
And soon will all turn grey
G
But may these shadows rise to walk again
E
With lessons truly learnt
C
When the blossom flowers in each our hearts
E D
Shall beat a new found flame
C G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
