chorus: too many martyrs and too many dead
am d g (em optional)
too many lies too many empty words were said
am d g
too many times for too many angry men
am d em
oh let it never be again
and the boy became a man, the man became a cause
the cause became the hope for the country and it’s laws.
they tried to burn his home and they beat him to the ground
but deep inside they both knew what it took to bring him down
-chorus-
the killer waited by his home hidden by the night
as evers stepped out from his car into the rifle sight
he slowly squeezed the trigger, the bullet left his side
it struck the heart of every man when evers fell and died.
-chorus-
and they laid him in his grave while the bugle sounded clear
laid him in his grave when the victory was near
while we waited for the future for freedom through the land (-)
the country gained a killer and the country lost a man
-chorus-
