From the recording They Were The Ones
Inspired by the documentary "Canaries in a Cold War"
Lyrics
They Were The Ones
Three sisters told me their story,
Three sisters told me the Truth;
Their story made me sorry,
I didn’t wanna believe it’s true.
They were the ones who were tortured,
They were the ones black and blue;
Three sisters were in a prison cell,
Stretched to the limit in a fiery red hell.
Sisters told me softly,
Water in their eyes made it true;
Hardest part for them,
Their friends still there bein’ abused.
They were the ones who were tortured,
They were the ones black and blue;
Three sisters were in a prison cell,
Stretched to the limit in a fiery red hell.
Shoulda learned our lesson,
History repeatin’ again;
How can we who are free,
Abide by genocide overseas?
Sisters love us, they told me,
Said we’re kind, and we’re true;
Said they love Lady Liberty,
They’re home in the red, white, and blue.
They are the ones who found freedom,
They are the ones who survived;
They are the ones with a story to tell,
Savin’ those in the fiery red hell;
Savin’ those in the fiery red hell.
Freein’ those from the Evil Red Hell.
Three sisters told me their story,
Three sisters told me the Truth.
