The Triangle Fire (Live)
In 1909 from Donegal's shore I sailed to Old New York Town In the harbour Lady Liberty stands I don't believe I'll again see dear Auld Ireland
But the promise in these city streets is so grand, and it's there I'd wed my dear sweet lass A bricklayer's spade my trade to be and she slaved in the Triangle Shirt Factory
My God, the dreadful conditions there they toiled through dim light and stifling air And grueling hours the seamstress gave to the industrial captains, for a trifling wage
Though two years passed, we saw no change And I grieved for my love's dark misery Then word ran through the New York streets there's a fire at the Triangle Shirt Factory
T'was only moments, and the factory surrendered to flames and the fire escapes soon gave way In the windows huddled girls appeared flames licked at their backs, their faces gripped with fear
'My God, don't jump' came the fireman's roar whose ladders failed to reach the top floors A last shared glance, and final embrace they leaped to their tragic, amd senseless fates
Now I scream at the sky, there's got to be a reason why Bewildered and grieved, I'm tangled and mired My love is gone, oh, the Triangle fire The world is so cold, desperate and dire I've lost everything in the Triangle fire 更多更詳盡歌詞 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔鏡歌詞網
There was no reason, there was no right and no law, to save us from this crime at all The owner's trial did reveal that the girls were locked in, the doors had all been sealed
'My God, they've gone free' came our hopeless cry The bosses won, with their lawyers and lies The power and greed again prevailed We were left with our sorrow, to our despair
Now I scream at the sky, there's got to be a reason why Bewildered and grieved, I'm tangled and mired My love is gone, oh, the Triangle fire The world is so cold, desperate and dire I've lost everything in the Triangle fire
I fear the future, I can imagine the time when our cityscape will touch the sky Will men of faith, of wealth and power spare their people a fate like the Triangle fire?
'My God, forgive me', these men will cry in their final hour as they lay dying When their victims' ghosts close in around God alone may forgive their indifference now
Now I scream at the sky, there's got to be a reason why Bewildered and grieved, I'm tangled and mired My love is gone, oh, the Triangle fire The world is so cold, desperate and dire I've lost everything in the Triangle fire I've lost everything in the Triangle fire
