All of ye fallen, fathers and mothers |
I hear you callin, from deep in your graves. |
Songs about Jesus, songs about freedom, |
Shackles and crosses, and the way blood behaves. |
Sailed the great ocean, sold down the river, |
White fields of cotton, and great fields of cain. |
The sweat from my body, the tears of our children, |
Washed in the blood, and the promise land rain. |
A brother fought brother, on ground we now hallow, |
Said hallelujahs, the angels did sing. |
The promise is buried, and fields that lay fallow. |
The bell is still broken, so let freedom ring. |
All the dreams of the dreamers, oh misbegotten. |
Cause momma’s still cryin, for the dyin and dead. |
And the war rages on, and the whole thing is rotten. |
And the blood we all bleed, is the same shade of red. |
