Death To My Hometown

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
Oh, no cannonball did fly, no rifles cut us downNo bombs fell from the sky, no blood soaked the groundNo powder flash blinded the eye, no deathly thunder soundedBut just as sure as the hand of God,They brought death to my hometownThey brought death to my hometownNo shells ripped the evening sky, no cities burning downNo armies stormed the shores for which we'd dieNo dictators were crownedI awoke from a quite night, I never heard a soundMarauders raided in the dark andBrought death to my hometownThey brought death to my hometownThey destroyed our families' factoriesAnd they took our homesThey left our bodies on the plains,The vultures picked our bonesListen up, my sonny boy, be ready for when they comeFor they'll be returning sure as the rising sunGet yourself a song to sing and sing it 'til you're doneYeah, sing it hard and sing it wellSend the robber barons straight to hellThe greedy thieves who came aroundAnd ate the flesh of everything they foundWhose crimes have gone unpunished nowWho walk the streets as free men nowAh, they brought death to our hometown,Death to our hometown,Death to our hometown,Death to our hometown, hey!
