lyrics

I hear the sound of the rebel yell
I smell the smouldering bodies
Just over the hill
And I will hold his promises
Until I can hold his hand
Until I can hold his hand
Again

Oh, children, tell your children
The story of this hell
Because history is not just a story
It tells your future well
Your future

My love, he was a farming man
He put down is pitchfork
To go fight for his land
He left a broken heart and all that he owned
And with tears in his eyes,
He set off to save his home

Oh, children, tell your children
To learn their heritage well
Because history is not just a story
It tells your future well
Your future

I will hold his promises until I can hold his hand
Until I can hold his hand again
I will hold his promises until I can hold his hand
Until I can hold his hand again

I don't believe in empty promises
The blood is on their hands
His blood is on your hand again.
I don't believe in empty promises
The blood is on their hands
Again
