The Speech to the Outlaws Songtext
von Chris de Burgh

The Speech to the Outlaws Songtext

I stand before you here today a once proud, now humbled man
And come to you in friendship, I swear it on my hand
I know that as a nobleman I am all that you despise
I will not offer empty words or sanctimonious lies
For I have faced the hangman′s noose
And I praise the hand that cut me loose
And thank the knife that gave me life again


For when a man is close to death
And he can feel the Reaper's breath
Upon his neck, then something has to change
And as for me, now I have seen
The hunger, pain and misery
Of you, my fellow travellers on this road

I give my word, I give my oath
I′ll give my life to set you free
For courage is our greatest hope
Our enemies will feel the rope
For we will light a fire this day

A blazing fire that's bringing awe long after we have gone
A fire that men will talk about and celebrate in song
A fire so bright that it will blind the sight
Of those who seek to break across
And take away our spirit and resolve
