Skrewdriver - After The Fire LYRICS

The fires raged for many years, it was a time of change

The heavens rained with sorrow's tears, then came the brand new day

That day there was a burnt out field, it's earth was black and charred

It's flowers once were peoples' hopes, but now they were their scars

-

(chorus)

After the fire, the ruins there did lay

After the fire, would come a brand new day

-

The field stood in misery, the years passed it by

A new age was awakening, to bury history's lies

One misty morn as day awoke, that field had come alive

Seeds once sown that now had grown, new life that would not die

-

The new age is approaching, and with it we shall be

The field was 1945 and the seeds were you and me
