He was talented and he was young, they were too many
to count, He gave strength to them with his song,
he sung the daybreak is near. Thousands of candles
they burn for him, smoke floated around, He sung
it’s time for walls to crash down They sung the
song with him:
Tear out teeth of bars from walls! Throw off
the chains and break the whip! Then walls will crash
down, walls will crash down And they’ll bury old
world for good!
Soon all knew words of song by heart and the melody
was enough To carry its old weight of words and
send shivers through heads So they sung and clasped
to rhythm, their applause sounded like shots The
chain pulled down, daybreak was late... But he played
and sung:
Tear out teeth of bars from walls! Throw off
the chains and break the whip! Then walls will crash
down, walls will crash down And they’ll bury old
world for good!
And they saw they are many and strong they felt the
time has come And singing that daybreak is near
they went through streets of towns. They crushed
statues and threw stones – he is with us! He is not!
Who’s alone is our enemy worst!
The singer was also alone.
He was looking at marching crowds Silent, he
listened to roar of steps And walls were growing,
walls were growing, And chains were swaying around
feet...
He looks at army-like marching crowds Silent
he listens to roar of steps And walls are growing,
walls are growing And chains are swaying around
feet...
