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 them bleed, 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 into the 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
