lirik lagu ballydowse - open the records

[chorus]
and they walk a thousand miles south
and they wear our gags upon their mouths
yet they will rise, with dignity and grace
open the records, shine a light in secret places
and finally the world will see guatemala
behold the marks upon her mayan daughters

[verse 1]
seed the earth between the anvil and the hammer
the generals and the wealthy flew the same bl~~dy banner
you offered them as martyrs but that was not your right
god’s instruments of change sometimes walk beneath our sight
indeed to take up violence can be the worst of votes
but before you criticize spend the night inside their booths

[verse 2]
on him they spent their rage yet never did he speak
no safe house given up, a dam that would not leak
he held your filthy torrents till you finally put him down
her love let loose the waters but it’s you who will be drowned
you will never understand how the truth can pass through bars
it flies above the night, writes the names upon the stars
[chorus]
and they walk a thousand miles south
and they wear our gags upon their mouths
yet they will rise, with dignity and grace
open the records, shine a light in secret places
and finally the world will see guatemala
behold the marks upon her mayan daughters

[verse 3]
100 cigarette burns like maps upon her back
led home to washington by the strings of the attack
look into her eyes the crazy isn’t there
it’s in the embassies and palaces filling every chair
this northern land is ours, for us judgment starts here
if indeed we fed the death squads our repentance should be dear

[verse 4]
oh, masters of mine look to the south
open your ears and close your mouth
we turn the river and thank our gods
they fight the thirst against all odds
“no more, no more” the cry comes drifting back
are grey skies growing lighter or will they fade to black?
or will they fade to black?
