lyrics

You're not like the others
When you do what is right
They only care about themselves
You care about the world
They want to take the other lives away
You gave them hope
They want to nail the world down by its knees
You showed them love

[chorus:]
We will sing for you
Until the day you die
You'll always have a place

Your words are not about you
You've no need to make yourself big
We're honoured to ride out with you
Our axes swing side by side

Marching through the town
Dressed in rags like a common beggar
How d'you expect them to see your side
When all they have is fast-handed
We want them to give us the world
But we'll have to take it ourselves
You can be noble and peaceful
As you rot in your grave

[chorus]

Stick to your dreams and hold your head up
(We'll sing for you)
Keep on going just do what you are
(We'll sing for you)
We know you'll never stop

We're singing about you [x6]

We can give you board and lodgings
Here's the bread and the wine
Don't drink it, it'll kill you
But else you'll die of thirst
You don't have to kill to take what's yours
Can we teach it to the others
And even if you lose we'll still be winners
Just because we saw you fight

[chorus]

We will be singing about you
Until we fade away
And in our ancient city
Out go the lights
