Lyrics
Black coats in the barley field
Smoke stains on the winter sky
We learned how a quiet man breaks
By the way that he wouldn’t bow his eyes
Old songs on my father’s tongue
Low hum like a warning drum
He said
“Son
When they come for your name
Stand up
Even if you stand alone”
Ashes in the valley
But the fire’s in our bones
They can take the roof and rafters
They can rattle every stone
Sing it low(Sing it low)
Sing it ragged(Sing it ragged)
for the lost(for the lost)
and overthrown on the fire
Ashes in the valley
But the fire’s in our bones
