Whaur dae ye lie? Songtext
von Malinky

Chorus (after each verse):
Whaur dae ye lie, my faither?
Whaur dae ye lie, my son?
Whaur dae ye lie, my ane true love?
When will the truth be won?

Oor friends, they came tae protect us
Oor friends, they bade us bide
Oor friends left us standing there naked
Wi′ nae place left tae hide


Oor neighbors, they came wi' a hundred year hate
Oor neighbors, they came wi′ guns
Oor neighbors, they came for oor menfolk
An' they slew them, everyone

I hae sought oot yer grave wi' my mither
I hae sought oot yer grave in vain
I hae sought the bare banes o′ the truth and the men
Faither, whaur are ye lain?

I hae cried oot yer name tae the four winds
I hae cried oot yer name ′til the dawn
I hae cried in the arms o' yer sister dear
Whaur dae ye lie, my son?

I hae dream′d o' yer breath upon me
I hae dream′d o' yer yellow hair
I hae dream′d o' the sounds o' yer dying love
Whaur dae ye lie, my dear?
