Shadow of the Dead Songtext
von Anti‐Flag

Hey

Tonight, tonight, tonight I′m gonna stay awake
Safe inside this Trojan horse until day breaks
Cut it up, tear it up, fuck it up
In the streets runs a river red, knee-deep
Hidden in the blood of our own lies, the alphabet of the free

As I walk through the valley in the shadow of the dead
Will you remember them?
As I walk through the valley in the shadow of the dead
Will you remember them?

Ce Soir, Ce Soir, Ce Soir Je vais rester éveillé'
There is no extinguishing the resistance you betray
The maquis, Zapatista, White Rose
Can we see the end of a battle unheard?
For every name in history, there are one thousand more interred

As I walk through the valley in the shadow of the dead
Will you remember them?
As I walk through the valley in the shadow of the dead
Will you remember?


I can′t believe my own eyes
(I've seen this sight one thousand times)
I can't believe my own eyes
(I′ve seen this sight one thousand times)
I can′t believe my own eyes
(I've seen this sight one thousand times)
I can′t believe my own eyes

Hey!

We will be sovereign in the water, In the shadow of the dead
Still no one remembers them
We will be free in the cold of the shadow of the dead
You will remember then

As I walk through the valley in the shadow of the dead
Will you remember them?
As I walk through the valley in the shadow of the dead
Will you remember them?
As I walk through the valley in the shadow of the dead
Will you remember?

By using the private sector to service your war
You take away the constraints of the nation state
And you now make your pool of potential soldiers
Or cannon folder for your war, the poor of the world
