Walls

He was inspired and young
No one could count them
He added strength with his song
Singing that dawn was near

Thousands lit candles for him
Smoke rose above their heads
He sang that it was time to break the wall
They sang along with him

Tear the teeth from the bars
Break the chains, smash the whip
And the walls will fall, fall, fall
And bury the old world
Tear the teeth from the bars
Break the chains, smash the whip
And the walls will fall, fall, fall
And bury the old world

Soon they knew the song by heart
And the melody without words
Carried with it an old meaning
Chills ran through hearts and minds

So they sang, clapping to the beat
Like a gunshot, their applause rang
And the chain weighed heavy, dawn was delayed
He kept singing and playing

Tear the teeth from the bars
Break the chains, smash the whip
And the walls will fall, fall, fall
And bury the old world
Tear the teeth from the bars
Break the chains, smash the whip
And the walls will fall, fall, fall
And bury the old world

Until they saw how many they were
They felt the strength and the time
And with the song that dawn was near
They walked through the city streets

They toppled statues and tore up the pavement
This one with us, that one against us!
Whoever stands alone is our worst enemy!

And the singer was also alone
Watching the steady march of the crowd
He was silent, listening to the sound of footsteps
And the walls grew, grew, grew
The chain swayed at their feet

He watches the steady march of the crowd
Silent, listening to the sound of footsteps
And the walls grow, grow, grow
The chain sways at their feet
