Ballydowse - Redhands lyrics

In the end the revolution veers and fades. Power corrupts, no future is built with tools of hate. The march, the cause just another sham. Everything rots in the hands of man. Comrades get slim and few when they don't meet up when they ain't you. The red hands of reaction and a lack of clarity caused by the disconnection of belief from all reality brought on the closing of our minds to hope and purity and left us hanging from our necks from a bent society. Politically completely free beyond all authority, we'd still be draped in chains called responsibility. Bound, gagged, and tortured beyond all amnesty a liberty no man can touch brings on our release. Try any point of view, what we are remains. Our choices and our paths are fewer than they seem. In the end the revolution veers and fades. Only what's eternal will pa** thru the flames.
