| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | We Have Fed You All For A Thousand Years | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 206 | | | | Lyrics: | WE HAVE FED YOU ALL FOR A THOUSAND YEARS
We have fed you all for a thousand
years
And you hail us still unfed
Though there's never a dollar of all your
wealth
But marks the workers dead
We have yielded our best to give you rest
And you
lie on crimson wool
But if blood be the price of all your wealth
Good God we have paid in
full
There is never a mine blown skyward now
But we're buried alive for
you
There's never a wreck drifts shoreward now
But we are its ghastly crew
Go reckon
our dead by the forges red
And the factories where we spin
If blood be the price of your
cursed wealth
Good God we have paid it in
We have fed you all for a thousand
years
For that was our doom, you know
From the days when you chained us in your
fields
To the strike a week ago
You have taken our lives, and our babies and
wives
And we're told it's your legal share
But if blood be the price of your lawful
wealth
Good God we bought it fair
