lyrics

As calling home our exiled friends abroad,

violent hands will perform in measure​​
​
in the unshrinking station of your cause ​​
of sorrow with its air-drawn dagger.

In wicked dreams I would the friends we missed
keep the word of promise underwrit

baited with the cries of, “hold, enough!”

I see thee still, I see thee still

Pronounce it for me, both sides are even.

Pronounce it for me, pronounce it for me.

More hateful to mine ear, hired to bear

their staves that way the noise is fight,

and young, young, too young, his tale is told

his leafy screens thrown down​, down, down.

Pronounce it for me, both sides are even.

Pronounce it for me, both sides are cloven.
