Gunmetal grey for golden rules White hot steel for the comfort of fools Molten wills in iron hands Forge new sons for the Motherland How many tears will fall down How many tears must fall How many tears will stain this ground How many tears must fall Hidden mounds in jungle dust Youthful voices forever lie hushed Poets and peasants know the truth But what in the world can one man do How many tears will fall down How many tears must fall How many tears will stain this ground How many tears must fall A mother's eyes ache with her hatred Her lips they are crippled with fear She waits for the news that she don't want to hear How many tears How many tears How many tears must fall down Ain't no funerals Ain't no prayers Ain't no blood in the Government Square Reign of terror True and tried Dries the eyes before they've cried How many tears will fall down How many tears must fall How many tears will stain this ground How many tears must fall How many tears How many tears will fall down
