Story Behind The Song

Dublin - Bloody Sunday

Song Description

A lone fighter's struggle before Bloody Sunday

Lyrics

I look over this city of Dublin
And I see the faces of those who aren't here
And the battles waiting before us

This city can be hard
It can force a man to his knees
But we rise and stand as one

In the heart of this night
Stillness lays claim to your soul
In these shadows we hide
Voices carry low
Oh....time drags
Like a beaten down man
Come morning we'll find
How this Sunday goes down

I wander these streets in the cool grey morn
I wonder how long we can carry this on
So long so many gone
Long may their passion live on
We'll take what we need
And forever we hold on

Sunlight strains so hard to break through this dark shroud
Somewhere on that rise
Shadows disappear
Oh...to be one again with the life we once knew
Somewhere o'er that rise
Young men's dreams can come true

I hold onto this passion hold on
Take what we see and forever believe we hold on
I hold onto this passion hold on
Take what we see and forever believe we hold on hold on

Sean is lost and we can't find Phillip
But on these dark streets of Dublin
One man becomes everyman

I wander these streets in the cool grey morn
I wonder how long we can carry this on
Sunlight brings hope that we hold to this
Moonlight we've known for so long
Darkness will fade
And forever believe we hold on

I Hold onto this passion hold on
Take what we need and forever believe we hold on
I Hold onto this passion hold on
Take what we need forever hold on

Sometimes the fight is hard
But our strength is old
Our hearts beat like drums
And in our blood runs the voice of a thousand pipers
