Ten Days in May

We see their bayonets are gleaming in the vibrant sun of spring

No more imprisonment, we cannot take it anymore

This craven silence has been broken

We raise our eyes and speak the truth, no longer whisper

So, am I guilty to be alive? I saw thembleed, I saw them die

Side by side we marched into the fire of their guns

From hand to hand we passed along the sticks and stones

Ten days in May

A blaze of upright fury

Ten days in May

So fearless

So fearless and unbound

This is the first one of your last days

War in the streets, so many hopeful people fall

Bound and determined to put

An end to two decades of tyranny, at last

So, am I guilty to be alive? I saw them bleed, yes, I saw them die

Side by side we marched into the fire of their guns

From hand to hand we passed along the sticks and stones

Ten days in May

A blaze of upright fury

Ten days in May

So fearless and unbound

So, are we guilty to be alive? We saw them bleed, we saw them die

Side by side they marched intothe fire of their guns

From hand to hand they passed along the sticks and stones

Gwangju we carry on your name

Ten days in May, too much is still untold
