"That Freedom Word" lyrics - MAGNUM

MAGNUM
"That Freedom Word"

There's crowds of people
Silver and gold
Counting the hours
Before they grow old
Walking beside me
Pale-faced without knowing
They all started crying
Their eyes had turned red

[Chorus:]
Once upon a time
Truth wrapped up in chains
Lost in the dark night, the rain pouring down
Wild dogs were howling in pain
Redemption is yours
Drift into the night
Cold wind blows your tears away
And wakes you up in fright

Seasons run quickly
Soon passing by
There's no returning
And there's no reply
Carved in this great oak
The names are forgotten
There's talk of betrayal
On these fields of clay

[Chorus:]
Once upon a time
Truth wrapped up in chains
Lost in the dark night, the rain pouring down
Wild dogs were howling in pain
Redemption is yours
Drift into the night
Cold wind blows your tears away
And wakes you up in fright

[Bridge:]
Well, the time has come
Same for everyone
They won't leave a crumb
No, won't put down the gun, woah
Yeah, that freedom word
It's a dirty lie
Never been confirmed
How many people die, yeah

[Chorus:]
Once upon a time
Truth wrapped up in chains
Lost in the dark night, the rain pouring down
Wild dogs were howling in pain
Redemption is yours
Drift into the night
Cold wind blows your tears away
And wakes you up in fright
Once upon a time
Truth wrapped up in chains
Lost in the dark night, the rain pouring down
Wild dogs were howling in pain
Redemption is yours
Drift into the night
Cold wind blows your tears away
And wakes you up in fright
