• Yes...
I can't believe the news todayOh, I can't close my eyes And make it go awayHow long...How long must we sing this songHow long, how long...'cause tonight...we can be as oneTonight...
Broken bottles under children's feetBodies strewn across the dead end streetBut I won't heed the battle callIt puts my back upPuts my back up against the wall
Sunday, Bloody SundaySunday, Bloody SundaySunday, Bloody Sunday
And the battle's just begunThere's many lost, but tell me who has wonThe trench is dug within our heartsAnd mothers, children, brothers, sisters Torn apart
Sunday, Bloody SundaySunday, Bloody Sunday
How long...
• How long must we sing this songHow long, how long...'cause tonight...we can be as oneTonight...tonight...
Sunday, Bloody SundaySunday, Bloody Sunday
Wipe the tears from your eyesWipe your tears awayOh, wipe your tears awayOh, wipe your tears away(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)Oh, wipe your blood shot eyes(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
And it's true we are immuneWhen fact is fiction and TV realityAnd today the millions cryWe eat and drink while tomorrow they die
(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
The real battle just begunTo claim the victory Jesus wonOn...
