The Wire Lyrics

We listened in to the ice age
And we built up man round the pit
And the daybreak hammered out a warning
To the weak
We dreamed on moon with passion
And on the long lochs bluer than eyes
Till the mists of bygone ages
Heard our cries

I′ve seen us among thousands
All of one name waiting to run
And when the charge came
Heaven and heart beat steel and gun
The old rock leaves us with fossil
From the ancient pagan rites
From the universal inroads
Back to Christ

Transmitting, transmitting
Breaking down the wire

As we look out over the morning
And the days of this life's spring
And the joy of Gaelic′s life-blood
Made us sing
And sheen your beauty on this journey
With the flick of youth in your eyes
Let the soul that's old in heartland
Reap in time

Transmitting, transmitting
Breaking down the wire
