the wolfe tones - the guildford four lyrics

Loading...

behind those english prison walls
the innocent and tortured call
they call for justice and for peace
and a chance to live again

for in their dark and lonely cell
there’s no justice, there’s no freedom bell
for there’s irish men and women there
imprisoned without crime

(chorus)
so free the people, let them go
you can’t hold them anymore
and remember too, it could be me or you
behind those prison walls

by the laws of god, it’s surely wrong
for you’ve suffered now for far too long
and with no evidence, no proof
of what you say they’re guilty of

but to me it is a crime, a shame
how you treated them was all a game
but the howling winds of justice will
cry out to free their names

(chorus)
so free the people, let them go
you can’t hold them anymore
but remember too, it could be me or you
behind those prison walls

you took away the sunshine
and you took away the rain
you stole away those youthful years
they’ll never see again

you robbed them of their freedom
and their chance to live and love
you deny them of their liberty
like a thief you stole their time

you stole the precious gift of time
to me, that is the greatest crime
so you must free the guildford four
you can’t hold them anymore

and like the six in birmingham
and the many others jailed and d-mned
release them now and let them go
and justice will be down

(chorus)
so free the people, let them go
you can’t hold them anymore
and remember too, it could be me or you
behind those prison walls

so free the people, let them go
you can’t hold them anymore
and remember too, it could be me or you
behind those prison walls
