about

The end of the saga, Billy makes a stand...

lyrics

FINAL STAND Chris Gibbons, Nov. 2003


Vs 1

I know there can be no excuses now

no victims, no martyrs for the cause

just you and I and all the thoughts I hide

As the sun sets on battle games and wars


Chos.

No great last words will be written in the stone

no sympathy to shatter where we stand

Just what I have , what I’ve carried all this time

Will see me, as I make my final stand


Vs 2

Poor sister Mary gathers up her flock

Her prayers, too, are lost among the hills

and lovers lie among the tender songs,

and sing the words that drive away their ills


Chos No last great words etc.


Vs 3

Old Billy left his hillside as the rain came down

determined to find his long lost bride

he knows she’ll come when the preacher starts his song

and locked in love they will abide


Chos No last great words etc.
