Al Sadr

from Great Deeds Demo 2011 by Great Deeds

lyrics

Shadows of shame fall on a land full power, and pain, and struggles for valour,
So tighten up your noose if you think that this will remedy battles we engage in and eventually lose.

And they spat in your face on your final day, but now you’ve gone and what difference has it made?
All that’s left is a world of indifference, greed and hate and people scattered
They spat in your face and screamed Al Sadr.

Let’s make up our minds; can we keep wasting our time?
Could we procrastinate the outcome until it’s clearly visible?
Let’s make up our minds, as a freshly cut blast through the air from a road side bomb is a sign of despair from the populous.
Yet the message reaches none of us.

I’m not trying to say what’s right, not saying I’ve got the answer,
But we can see that’s something’s wrong
Not for a second could compare the complexity.
Not trying to say what’s right, not saying I’ve got the answers,
But we know what’s right

And they spat in your face on your final day, but now you’ve gone and what difference has it made?
All that’s left is a world of indifference, greed and hate and people scattered
They spat in your face and screamed…

about

Great Deeds Sheffield, UK

Great Deeds play songs that are faster than they probably should be, songs that are slightly more melodic than people think they would be and songs that are a little more complicated than they first sound.
Its still punk... just in 7/8.
