Only Your Eyes to Weep


I've always been a man of peace
Carried the burden of my dreams
Until all the weight of guilt and sorrow
Came crashing down on me

I can hear the echoed screams
They still haunt me in my sleep
Until the walls close in
And I'm beckoned to the breach

The longest day, the longest night
And just the glow of western sky
Gives birth to the shadows
Where the ghosts of dead men hide

Campfires in the dark
Like ever watching eyes
Blind to all of those
Who fight with faith and pride

Witness it all, conscience of none
Cry to heaven, then silence the one
Women and children lying dead upon the ground
In this madness theirs no mercy to be found

I wait the hours, they pass like days
Flee from reality, I am sane
There's only one way out I know
The time has come to lead the way

Witness it all, conscience of none
Cry to heaven, then silence the one
Women and children lying dead upon the ground
In this madness theirs no mercy to be found

The emerald isle glows bright
It is to you, I give my life
To a cause and to the end
We will stand to see Drogheda live again

Desperation clouds my vision
Sweat and smoke burn my eyes
I tell myself this can't be happening to me
One more breath, then my life slips away
