Duhks - Who Will Take My Place lyrics

If they shoot me down to shut me down Who will take my place? If they bring an army into this town Who will take my place? If they rule this land and silence me When I'm laid out with injury When my words won't matter anymore Who will take my place? Revolution you are not my hope Who will take my place? There are flowers painted on these stones Who will take my place? When the silence of oppression dies Overheard beyond the battle cries Are the words of final compromise. Who will take my place? When the dogs of war are on the land Who will take my place? When you forfeit life to take a stand Who will take my place? When the dreamers fear the simplest thoughts When the bloodshed takes all that you've got When this world's an empty creaking floor Who will take my place? If they rule this land and silence me When I'm laid out with injury When my words won't matter anymore Who will take my place? Who will take my place?
