lyrics

In 1945 gathered at the gates were the holy tribe
Six million souls the few that survived
Are looking to the heavens and praying for a sign
And in the year of famine 85
Dowsing for the rains the waters run dry
Where gathered at the river
The sands of time trickle through their fingers
Like the tears that they cry
But I’m a rich man living in a city of shame
Built on the profits of endless pain
And there’s doubt in mind how the west was won
I’m a lost soul living in the man I’ve become
And I can’t seem to make no sense of
All of this confusion, a life of disillusion my
Heavy heart it breaks with the sound of
the silence of the lambs as they lead them to the slaughter

We’re all God’s children under the sun
Equal in the eyes of everyone
Just praying for a sign oh Messiah come
But we’ll crucify ‘fore the day was done

In 1969 the Flower and the gun marching in time
To the drums of war will peace they find
Gathered on the hill way up high
In 1989 people revolution sweep like a tide
across a world that’s ravaged by years of pain
Barricades breached and fall like rain
But I’m a poor man into the world I come
Naked as a child my father’s first son
And I’ll be judged by everything that I’ve done
From here to eternity kingdom come
And I can’t seem to make no sense of
All of this confusion A life of disillusion my
Heavy heart it breaks with the sound of
the silence of the lambs as they lead them to the slaughter

We’re all God’s children under the sun
Equal in the eyes of everyone
Just praying for a sign oh Messiah come
But we’ll crucify you ‘fore the day was done
