The Clash - Rebel Waltz Lyrics

Send "Rebel Waltz" ringtones to your cell

I slept as I dreamed of a time long ago 
I saw an army of rebels dancing on air 
I dreamed as I slept, I could see the campfires 
A song of the battle, that was born in the flames 
And the rebels were waltzing on air 
I danced with a girl to the tune of a waltz 
That was written to be danced on the battlefield 
I danced to the song of a voice of a girl
A voice that called "Stand till we fall 
We stand till all the boys fall" 
As we danced came the news 
That the war was not won 
Five armies were coming 
With carriage and gun 
Throught the heart of the camp 
Swept the news from the front 
A cloud crossed the moon 
A child cried for food 
We knew the war could not be won 
So we danced with the rifle, to the rhythm of the gun
In a glade through the trees I saw my only one 
Then the earth seemed to rise hell hot as the sun 
The soldiers were dying, there was a tune to the sighing 
The song was an old rebel one 
As the smoke of our hopes rose high from the field 
My eyes played tricks through the moon and the trees 
I slept as I dreamed I saw the army rise 
A voice began to call, "Stand till you fall" 
The tune was an old rebel one
