Erika Lundahl - Ballad of Jock Yablonski Lyrics

After the palm trees went up in flames
Ancient cities, burned remains
How do you go on?

After she sunk her teeth into your bloody heart
Let what was left out the the rain to rot
How do you go on?
How do you go on?
How do you go....

Ask the apostle
Of a fallen god
Ask the coal worker
Out of a job
Ask Jock Yablonski
And his wife and child
Shot in the head by
The rank and file
How do you go on?
How do you go on?
No one sets out to be
The martyr that time forgot
It's a long long road
To bread and roses
And it's getting hot
It's a long, long, long, long road
How do you go on?

Ask the garden of Eden
Choked out with thorny vines
Ask the head of John the Baptist
Delivered on a platter for the guests at dinnertime
How do you go on?
How do you go on?

Step by step the longest march
Can be won, can be won
Many stones can form an arch
Singly none, singly none
And by union what we will
May be accomplished still
Drops of water turn the mill
Singly none, singly none

How do we go on?
How do we go on?
How do we go on?
How do we go on?
