Over My Dead Body |
| After the Nazis, we were baited by the Russian bear |
| Our liberators wanted Poland for a thoroughfare |
| I was a victim of December 1981 |
| I took a final beating from the blunt end of a Russian gun |
| You plant your missiles while our people wait in line for bread |
| You hang an army tank above us by a bloody thread |
| You bought our government, they crawl like bleating sheep to you |
| We know from history that human life is cheap to you |
| Over my dead body redemption draweth nigh |
| Over my dead body I hear a battle cry |
| Try and blow out the fire, you’re fanning the flames |
| We’re gonna rise up from the ashes, 'til we’re ashes again |
| You make a mockery of all that we hold sacred here |
| You drive us underground in hopes that we will disappear |
| We seek our sanctuary where the altar candle burns |
| Our dignity’s a legacy the cross of Jesus reaffirms |
| After the Nazis we were baited by the Russian bear |
| Our liberators wanted Poland for a thoroughfare |
| Rise up my brothers, don’t despair the Iron Curtain’s rod |
| Someday we’ll draw the string assisted by the hand of God |
| I was a victim of December 1981 |
| I took a final beating from the blunt end of a Russian gun |
| You made a memory, the memory will multiply |
| You may kill the body but the spirit, it will never die |
