There's a cross up yonder up on Calvary HillThere's a slip of blood on a silver knifeThere's a graveyard kid down belowWhere at night did come to lifeAnd above the stars, they crackle in fireA dead man's moon throws seven ringsWell, we put our ears to the cold grave stonesThis is the song they'd singWe are aliveAnd though our bodies lie alone here in the darkOur spirits rise to carry the fire and light the sparkTo stand shoulder to shoulder and heart to heartA voice cried out, I was killed in Maryland in 1877When the railroad workers made their standWell, I was killed in 1963 one Sunday morning in BirminghamWell, I died last year crossing the southern desertMy children left behind in San PabloWell they left our bodies here to rotOh please let them knowWe are aliveOh, and though we lie alone here in the darkOur souls will rise to carry the fire and light the sparkTo fight shoulder to shoulder and heart to heartLet your mind rest easy, sleep well my friendIt's only our bodies that betray us in the endI awoke last night in a dark and dreamy deepFrom my head to my feet, my body had gone stone coldThere were worms crawling all around meFingers scratching at an earth black and six foot lowAnd alone in the blackness of my graveAlone I'd been left to dieThen I heard voices calling all around meThe earth rose above me, my eyes filled with skyWe are aliveAnd though our bodies lie alone here in the darkOur souls and spirits riseTo carry the fire and light the sparkTo fight shoulder to shoulder and heart to heartTo stand shoulder to shoulder and heart to heartWe are alive
