about
This track was inspired by the White Rose and Sophie Scholl, and is dedicated to all the journalists and writers who have been injured or have lost their lives trying to tell us the truth.
lyrics
You didn't regret it
someone had to start
And on the day that you died you said
the sun still shines
Guess you thought that their words
were worth more than your life
There'd never been a better time
for the young to take a side
You were using words
to counter the bombs
And like children in a field with sticks and pans on your heads like knights
you held tight
White roses
Words
Swords
Eighty years later
who can say what's changed
The bad guy's been beaten, let's have a parade
least that's what they say
But we turned our backs
for a moment and were lost
The bile of the past rose up
from a different mouth
And we'll be using words
to counter the bombs
And like children in a field with sticks and pans on our heads like knights
we'll hold tight
