There's crowds of people Silver and gold Counting the hours Before they grow old Walking beside me Pale faced without knowing They all started crying Their eyes had turned red Once upon a time Truth wrapped up in chains Lost in the dark night, the rain pouring down Wild dogs were howling in pain Redemption is yours Drift into the night Cold wind blows your tears away And wakes you up in fright Seasons run quickly Soon passing by There's no returning And there's no reply Carved in this great oak The names are forgotten There's talk of betrayal On these fields of clay Once upon a time Truth wrapped up in chains Lost in the dark night, the rain pouring down Wild dogs were howling in pain Redemption is yours Drift into the night Cold wind blows your tears away And wakes you up in fright Well the time has come Same for everyone They won't leave a crumb No won't put down the gun, woah Yeah that freedom word It's a dirty lie Never been confirmed How many people die, yeah Once upon a time Truth wrapped up in chains Lost in the dark night, the rain pouring down Wild dogs were howling in pain Redemption is yours Drift into the night Cold wind blows your tears away And wakes you up in fright Once upon a time Truth wrapped up in chains Lost in the dark night, the rain pouring down Wild dogs were howling in pain Redemption is yours Drift into the night Cold wind blows your tears away And wakes you up in fright
