He has the courage to speak 
And it makes me weak
To see a man in the stars
Behind prison bars 
That are self explanatory 
And this is a war so planetary 
As it drags the dust and the water 
Upon every son and every daughter
Of Palestine 
That the shame should be mine
For losing this on my watch 
I just stare at the clock 
Every morning and hope that he 
Has weathered the storm that we 
Are safe from here in Éire 
It’s not fair 
That you should have to suffer 
And you may love Her
But you shouldn’t have to entertain 
This kind of rain 
In this season 
And there is no reason 
This is happening but that 
Some people did something they can’t take back 
And the wrath
Ensues
What the god of men does when it cannot pay its dues
It says what it does not know 
And it holds on when it should’ve let go 
Long ago 
And I just sit and stare 
And pray that you’re still there
Behind a screen 
Here’s to you and the scream 
That pierces the night 
I guess there is no good fight
