Smoke hangs on the city like it always used to be.

While the first leaves are falling from the trees.
Em            C
Mother looks, like she always did,
       G                       D
as the earth falls down on the coffin lid.
 
Em                       C
Later she's watching the pictures of her son,

Take me high above, high above the sky.

too young to die.

Now she's sharing so many women's fate.

Nothing changes at this bloody place.

Tomorrow they're standing on another one's grave.
 
Em                          C
And smoke hangs on the city like it always used to be.

Spoken:
On the 30th of january 1972 soldiers shot into a crowd of men, women and children,
who were marching to Londonderry peacefully fighting for their civil rights as a religious minority.
14 people were killed on that bloody Sunday.
On the 4th of October 1976 two british patrols shot into a group of playing children in Turf Lodge,
Belfast, Northern Ireland. Brian Stewart was hit by a plastic bullet from a distance of only two meters.
Brian Stewart died just six days later at the age of thirteen!
