With My Hammer I Break The Chains Lyrics

Oh, you who see injustice all around

But have not the courage to fight or stand your ground

We see but are too scared,

There are not enought of us prepared

To put our lives at risk time and again

And then comes a drop of rain

To the parched lips of a world that needs to feel hope again.

We are dying as a people and a nation.

A third of our people have been killed in 21 years

Of illegal occupation.

10 U.N. resolutions requesting Indonesia to withdraw

They chose to ignore...

And a woman cries,

"If you are really human

You'll stop them sending these weapons to our shore!"

With my Hammer I Break the Chain

I Will Not remain in Silence

I Will Stand and I Will Defend

My Right to Fight Against Violence!

No prison can contain

The Freedom that we gain

When we move through fear

Here

Laws of our civilised land are quite clear;

Selling Weapons to Dictators

To MURDER, STONE, RAPE and TORTURE

Is Illegal

But there is timber, there is oil

On Indonesian soil

And there's money to be made from the Arms Trade

Our Boys need Jobs!

She shouted from the rooftops

But not one word of the lie is lost or destroyed

I cannot believe

That you continue to decieve yourselves in this way!

All the people that you paid to make the jet-fighters!

With my Hammer I Break the Chain

I Will Not remain in Silence

I Will Stand and I Will Defend

My Right to Fight Against Violence!

No prison can contain

The Freedom that we gain

When we move through fear

Here

To think to plan they took a year

To build the trust to work through fear

3am on a cold january morning

A BA Warton

No-one saw them no-one gave the warning

Hot jet ZH955 came alive to the sound of singing Hammers

The hanging of banners, the scattering of seeds and ashesSeize The Day - With My Hammer I Break The Chains - http://motolyrics.com/seize-the-day/with-my-hammer-i-break-the-chains-lyrics.html

On it's wings

And the women waited to see what justice brings

The ?2.4 million damage done

13 Million for a new one

We are not martyrs, or heroines

We owe so much to our friends,

Who held our courage in their hands!

With my Hammer I Break the Chain

I Will Not remain in Silence

I Will Stand and I Will Defend

My Right to Fight Against Violence!

With my Hammer I Break the Chain

I Will Not remain in Silence

I Will Stand and I Will Defend

My Right to Fight Against Violence!

No prison can contain

The Freedom that we gain

When we move through fear

Here

And after half a year in jail

They came before a court of Law

And the truth the jury heard and saw

Stunned them into silence

And then when the verdict came:

"Not Guilty."

Justice had been done

The celebrating could begin again

Dancing laughing praying weeping crying

In East Timor they danced and laughed and cried somemore

And as the seeds of hope

Begin to settle on the ground

A gentle rain begins to falls

With my Hammer I Break the Chain

I Will Not remain in Silence

I Will Stand and I Will Defend

My Right to Fight Against Violence!

With my Hammer I Break the Chain

I Will Not remain in Silence

I Will Stand and I Will Defend

My Right to Fight Against Violence!

With my Hammer I Break the Chain

I Will Not remain in Silence

I Will Stand and I Will Defend

My Right to Fight Against Violence!

No prison can contain

The Freedom that we gain

When we move through fear

Here

With my Hammer I Broke the Chain

I did Not remain in Silence
