Lyrics
(1)Well i wondered how you were the day you fell from sight, the day the pigs came barging in and put out your Spirit Light... I know you would never go easily, AT times we all lose sight.... of Dreams the world would sooner destroy they didn't have the right!! TO raise a hand against a truly innocent man, they cut him down at 31 his blood ran in the sand. Does ANYBODY GIVE A DAMM!!?? (2) I was once a lot like you, you may not believe, i thought that i was keepin' it real, i was just deceived. i didn't want to be a part of herds and rituals. i used to sing it loud at night while running with the bulls....CHORUS 2:. then the Wheel in the Sky Ripped the Splinters out of my eyes, and i realized i had become what i despised, i was LOST, steeped in lies. (3) yeah i wondered where you were. the day you lost the fight, the night the bastards broke the door and put out your SPIRIT LIGHT. I heard you didn't go easily, but put up a hell of a fight. But these kind come to kill and destroy the children of the light.( CHORUS 3: soon the night will roll back sure as day will stem the tide, we'll rise up out of the ashes and the gates will open wide. i will sing no more of the needle and the spoon. light a match and don't look back, burn down my empty room.......
