[Verse 1]
We shall let our songs drown
The rattle of the train
And the roaring of the crowd
We shall wet our throat with sticky dark wine
And toast this blood wedding so fine
To new horizons, to a new dawn
To a new and reckless generosity
For this, our land of the free
We shall win, die, or betray and turn
[Chorus]
Swords to rust, hearts to dust
In vain, to write our name in blood
And in flowers of flame
Swords to rust, hearts to dust
All blind and gone astray
Our envy, green as May
[Verse 2]
All smothered in wild flowers
We break the windows to breathe
That golden dawn is ours
For tonight, hesitation's on leave
We shall let our songs drown
The rattle of the train
And the roaring of the crowd
We shall wet our throat with sticky dark wine
And toast this blood wedding so fine
To new horizons, to a new dawn
To a new and reckless generosity
For this, our land of the free
We shall win, die, or betray and turn
[Chorus]
Swords to rust, hearts to dust
In vain, to write our name in blood
And in flowers of flame
Swords to rust, hearts to dust
All blind and gone astray
Our envy, green as May
[Verse 2]
All smothered in wild flowers
We break the windows to breathe
That golden dawn is ours
For tonight, hesitation's on leave
