Riff1
I remember the day I picked you up,
you were long on passion, short on luck.
We scattered truth to the countryside
and for love you soon would die.

The status quo was on our backs,
nailed us to crosses They wore on their necks.
Our brotherhood would never die,
faces like flint, and eyes to the sky...
