The Fields Remember

كلمات الأغنية

[Verse 1] Dust on the cuffs, rain on the gate You read the old names, you never looked away A paper map folded beneath your coat One steady hand, one promise you wrote [Pre-Chorus] They drew a line through the fields we knew You held your ground when the valley split in two [Chorus] Haider, stand where the cold winds turn Carry the names that the years would burn Haider, hold fast, let the whole world know A heart can refuse what the rulers sow [Verse 2] The tea went bitter, the lamps burned low Your mother kept the blue scarf folded below You spoke to the boy at the checkpoint wall And made him remember he was human after all [Pre-Chorus] No grand parade, no promise of fame Just every lost face, and the weight of each name [Chorus] Haider, stand where the cold winds turn Carry the names that the years would burn Haider, hold fast, let the whole world know A heart can refuse what the rulers sow [Bridge] When the morning comes, when the gates unclose May the orchard keep what the silence stole If I lose my way, if the road runs wide Keep one small place for the truth to reside [Final Chorus] Haider, stand where the cold winds turn Carry the names that the years would burn Haider, hold fast, let the whole world know A heart can refuse what the rulers sow Haider, stand—let the old bells ring For the ones who stayed, for the ones who sing [Outro] One steady hand, one promise kept The names remain; the fields remember
