Clash - Rebel Waltz Lyrics
I slept and I dreamed of a time long agoI saw an army of rebels, dancing on airI dreamed as I slept, I could see the campfires,A song of the battle, that was born in the flames,And the rebels were waltzing on air.I danced with a girl to the tune of a waltzThat was written to be danced on the battlefieldI danced to the tune of a voice of a girlA voice that called stand till we fallWe stand till all the boys fall.As we danced came the news that the war was not won5 armies were coming, with carrige and gunThrough the heart of the campSwept the news from the frontA cloud crossed the moon, a child cried for foodWe knew the war could not be won.So we danced with a rifle, to the rhythm of the gunIn a glade through the trees I saw my only oneThen the earth seemed to rise hell hot as the sunThe soldiers were dying, there was tune to the sighing.The song was an old rebel one.As the smoke of our hopes rose high from the fieldMy eyes played tricks through the moon and the treesI slept as I dreamed I saw the army riseA voice began to call, stand till you fallThe tune was an old rebel one.
