Lyrics & Tabs

Uncertain
« back
Heavy from walking
We stopped for the night
Near the shallow river
A never fright
But night fell on us before dawn
'Till all of our hope was over drawn

If every man lay down his gun
We would no longer be

'Cause your war is your sickness
And so it's our disease

O distant constant quarrelling lot
Your risk is greater than what you've got
Open your high road
You drag us along, the long road
Of our brothers gone

We didn't fight back
We fought to escape
Smuggling gasoline for food
Before we were of age

Your war is your sickness
And so it's our disease

O distant constant quarrelling lot
Your risk is greater than what you've got
Open your high road
You carry us along, the long road
Of our brothers gone
    Chorus:
    'Cause we are so uncertain
    Of the future, that we may face
    And we don't like the burning
    Of the very flame we had in place
    Some day we will be replaced by the guns of the sons
    and their fatherless rage
    And we are not deserting
    But we see no course to take

    Bridge:
    You hear the curtain falls
    And heralds the curtain calls
    Come out, come alive
    Time is no lie
    Everyone now in a row
    So quiet and so devout
    Can you resign yourself to accept
    A better hell
    We'll not fall in their curse
    Facing life in prison or possibly worse
    Our fathers are calling mass
    Asking us to drink from the pain of their past life

O distant constant quarrelling lot
Your risk is greater than what you've got
Open your high road
You carry us along, the long road
Of our brothers gone
    Chorus:
    'Cause we are so uncertain
    Of the future, that we may face
    And we don't like the burning
    Of the very flame we had in place
    Some day we will be replaced by the guns of the sons
    and their fatherless rage
    And we are not deserting
    But we see no course to take
