lyrics

Fires

We saw the frost-fire rise
like smoke across the sky
we watched the red sun lift
where frozen waters lie

never again my dear
shall they push us out of here
never again
shall we leave, shall we leave

Oh no - born to be denied
Oh no - denied

We watched real houses burn
saw shadows in the trees
faces of sadness
in a land dragged to its knees

Never again my dear
Shall we steal away from here
never again shall we leave
shall we leave

We saw the frost-fires burn
smoke rising in the sky
a red....... sun.........lifts

Work emanates from a wooden shed in mid-Wales, serenaded by owls & robin-song.
