[00:03.00]BLOOD IS ON THE SQUARE
[00:06.00]words and music by: Phillip Morgan
[00:07.50]A Song for the People of China
[00:09.50]
[00:10.50]A song was heard in China
[00:12.50]in the city of Beijing.
[00:15.50]In the spring of 1989
[00:18.42]you could hear the people sing.
[00:21.82]And it was the song of freedom
[00:25.00]that was ringing in the square.
[00:28.00]the world could feel the passion of
[00:31.00]the people gathered there.
[00:34.00]Oh children, blood is on the square.
[00:40.00]
[00:47.00]For many nights and many days,
[00:50.00]waiting in the square.
[00:52.00]"To build a better nation"
[00:56.00]was the song that echoed there.
[00:59.00]"For we are China's children,
[01:02.30]We love our native land,
[01:05.30]For brotherhood and freedom
[01:08.21]we are joining hand in hand."
[01:11.30]Oh children, blood is on the square.
[01:16.00]
[01:20.00]Manifesto of hunger strike
[01:22.00]
[01:23.00]Although our shoulders are still weak,
[01:26.00]although death for us
[01:29.00]is still seemingly too harsh to bear,
[01:32.00]we have to part with life,
[01:34.00]we have no choice,
[01:36.00]when history demands us to do so.
[01:39.00]Romantic fantasy of suffering
[01:41.00]can only be dispelled by suffering in reality.
[01:44.30]It is with spirit of death that we fight for life.
[01:48.00]It is with the desperation
[01:51.00]of saving this dispirited and selfish nation
[01:54.00]We are offering ourselves -
[01:57.00]if we are not willing to die, who will?!
[02:01.00]
[02:02.50]Then came the People's Army
[02:06.00]with trucks and tanks and guns.
[02:09.00]The government was frightened
[02:12.50]of their daughters and their sons.
[02:15.00]But in the square was courage and
[02:18.00]a vision true and fair,
[02:22.00]the Army of the People would not harm
[02:25.00]the young ones there.
[02:27.80]Oh children, blood is on the square.
[02:33.00]
[02:40.00]On June the 3rd of China,
[02:43.00]in the spring of '89,
[02:46.00]an order came from high above
[02:50.00]and passed on down the line.
[02:52.00]The soldiers opened fire,
[02:55.30]young people bled and died,
[02:59.00]the blood of thousands on the square
[03:01.20]that lies can never hide.
[03:05.30]Oh children, blood is on the square.
[03:12.00]
[03:18.00]For four more days of fury
[03:21.00]the people faced the guns.
[03:23.25]How many thousands slaughtered
[03:27.00]when their grisly work was done?
[03:30.00]They quickly burned the bodies
[03:33.05]to hide their coward's shame,
[03:36.50]but blood is thick upon their hands and
[03:39.40]darkness on their names.
[03:42.00]Oh children, blood is on the square.
[03:50.00]
[03:58.00]BLOOD IS ON THE SQUARE
[04:05.00]words and music by: Phillip Morgan
[04:12.00]A Song for the People of China
[04:19.00]
[04:32.00]There are tears that flow in China
[04:36.00]for her children that are gone.
[04:38.60]There is fear and there is hiding,
[04:41.74]for the killing still goes on.
[04:45.12]And the iron hand of terror can
[04:48.00]buy silence for today,
[04:50.50]but the blood that lies upon the square
[04:54.00]cannot be washed away.
[04:57.00]Oh children, blood is on the square.
[05:11.00]
[05:13.00]IN MEMORY OF OUR BELOVED
[05:16.00]BROTHERS AND SISTERS
[05:19.00]KILLED AT TIANANMEN-SQUARE
[05:22.00]
