53 Nations Songtext / Lyric

53 Nations Songtext
So many sons and daughters, poised to attack,
Born in distant fatherlands
Marchring under the heavens of spain
And without fear go to the barricades Brothers and sisters in arms
This is the reckoning
Now only hatred fills our hearts
Raising the colours of freedom In ruthless fights, i saw my best friends die
Now buried far away, so far away from home,
Lionhearted soldiers, no one shall forget their names
Understanding what the world still had to learn

No mercy to the villains,
Defending the republic infected by a facist pestilence
This righteous fight reveals your shame,
Delivered to oblivion, those who fought a horrid beast

Homecoming held no glory and silence covers our tombs,
scorned and despised, left and denied, but still do i defy,
I still resist and fight your apathy,
And still i fight.

"... and no men ever entered earth more honorably than those who died in spain." (Ernest Hemingway)

International Brigades in Spain 1936-1939
