ROTTEN FLOWERS IN THE GUNS A wire of thorns, rags, white-neon's sky Fire of hate and unexploded bomb – beware the curfew ! Open your eyes, there's no fear – the battle is now lost The fight is extinguished in the streets – you have to put some flowers on the tombs ! Another voice dies behind the sky The freedom flame is burning Rotten flowers in the guns And another fire is now bursting ! Flee soldier, don't be a hero Throw away your gun and run faster Don't listen to the drums of war Defend your brothers ! Drink to freedom for the peace for your people Water the Dreams of your country Listen to the far screams ! Flee.....without delay ! Face the wind that will be ! Another voice dies behind the sky The freedom flame is burning Rotten flowers in the guns And another fire is now bursting !
