I arrived on Easter Day
In valour and in vain
A field of blood and rain
A harvest of tears and pain
Christ I can’t believe my eyes
I prayed I’d soon be dead
The voices in my head
Are telling me run instead
And I held out my hand
Fired and I stared as they fell to the ground
I turned away
I might have been dreaming
I couldn’t say
No telling right from wrong
One endless day
And far from the screaming
I was gone
And never would return
And never would return
And never would return again
I covered up my eyes
I covered up my face
My heart began to race
I’m out into open space
And I ran till I fell
Crawled till I just couldn’t take any more
Sunrise appeared
Mist swirling around me
I couldn’t tell
But shadows caught my eye
I raised my head
Saw I was surrounded
I was tried
And sentenced where I lay
I’d never see the day
And never feel the shame
I heard the gun shot
