Deeds Not Words

[Intro]
(Mm mm mm)

[Verse 1]
Silver locks and iron will
Against the damp of London fog
Static systems standing still
A broken pact of prologue
Quiet parlor tea turns cold
While streets ignite in gray
Boundaries broken as they unfold
Finding the forward way

[Pre-Chorus]
Chains click
Glass cracks
Wind blows
Life shifts
We are the pulse that the law ignored
Walking right through every heavy door

[Chorus]
Emmeline Pankhurst leading the line
Emmeline Pankhurst mark of the time
Voice of the dignity
Truth for the world to see
Emmeline Pankhurst flame in the dark
Emmeline Pankhurst light of the spark
No longer a shadow in the hall
Writing a name upon the wall

[Verse 2]
Sashes green and purple proud
Wrapped around a weary frame
Walking lonely through the crowd
To give the ghost a name
Deeds not words define the fight
WSPU standing tall
Pulling justice into light
Let the ancient fortress fall

[Pre-Chorus]
Hearts beat
Chains click
Breath caught
War fought
We are the pulse that the law ignored
Walking right through every heavy door

[Chorus]
Emmeline Pankhurst leading the line
Emmeline Pankhurst mark of the time
Voice of the dignity
Truth for the world to see
Emmeline Pankhurst flame in the dark
Emmeline Pankhurst light of the spark
No longer a shadow in the hall
Writing a name upon the wall

[Bridge]
Locked in cells of stone
Never really quite alone
Marching feet on cobblestone
Power from a hollow throne
Cast a paper into the box
Break the bolts and turn the locks

[Chorus]
Emmeline Pankhurst leading the line
Emmeline Pankhurst mark of the time
Voice of the dignity
Truth for the world to see
Emmeline Pankhurst flame in the dark
Emmeline Pankhurst light of the spark
No longer a shadow in the hall
Writing a name upon the wall
