As the traitors they all turn against us And the cowards they cower in fear We stand on the rubble of hope now But a Red Flag's still flying here So raise up the banners unbeaten And strike up the Colliery Band Cos we have a bond here between us They don't understand Chorus: It may seem farther away now than ever And the urge is to turn and to run But stand up tall and stay strong For the fight it goes on And that change is still gonna come For those of you new to this losing Don't worry, it's happened before And just cos you don't win the battle Don't mean that you can't win the war From Match Girls to Miners and Dockers From the steel works right back to the mill We are the heart of a spirit that they cannot kill Chorus: It may seem farther away now than ever And the urge is to turn and to run But stand up tall and stay strong For the fight it goes on And that change is still gonna come

You worked so hard, You gave it everything you'd got; And still they dragged us back here, To a Land That Time Forgot. A place where hate and heartlessness Have cast their bitter spell. They tell you you're in heaven, While they're putting you through hell. Chorus: Remember, though the jeering And the sneering carries on It isn't you It isn't you It isn't you who's wrong They watched you buckle 'Neath the burden on your back You fighting for humanity While they all made a stack But letting them beat you That won't get you anywhere It only hurts so much Because you care Remember, though the jeering And the sneering carries on It isn't you It isn't you It isn't you who's wrong

As I'm kicking up the dust And picking through the rubble Of wounded faith and broken trust In a world of trouble With the vultures overhead And my friends all turning I've a fire in my heart And the flame's still burning Chorus: I would do it all again, In a blink tomorrow. Without a hint of a regret, Nor a tear of sorrow. It never was the storm Just a flash of lightning Lighting up the dark And we keep on fighting As the sun sets on a dream And the light is dying As dark as now it seems We must keep on trying Don't let em take your fight Or the doubts enslave you Fan the flames of change With the hope it gave you I would do it all again In a blink tomorrow Without a hint of a regret Nor a tear of sorrow It never was the storm Just a flash of lightning Lighting up the dark And we keep on fighting

To all of you dreamers You who want to believe Don't look back On the ground that we lost Or the cost Look at everything we have achieved To all of you fighters Beaten down to the ground Hurts like hell You could wait for the bell Or pick yourselves up And we'll go one more round Chorus: I choose to fight til they lose Are we all going to sit around Singing the Blues? I am a spark in search of a fuse And I choose to fight on To fight til they lose To all of you strikers On the picket at dawn Standing tall All for one, one for all Out there facing the storm To all of you sharers You keep clicking away Send your message out there to the world With a hope in your heart That you'll change it someday Chorus To all of you speakers Do this one thing for me Take that mic like a legend Out writing their name Into history To all of you singers Bring us your rebel songs Light the dark Write your name in our hearts And we'll raise our voices To all sing along I choose to fight til they lose Are we all going to sit around Singing the Blues? I am a spark in search of a fuse And I choose to fight To fight til they lose
