The Light |
| Out in the streets, where the rumours flew |
| The second coming of «you know who» |
| But still they doubt as they stare at the face to believe |
| Deep in the woods, long after dark |
| Falling through the stratosphere, shining like a star |
| They shoot to kill, for the questions come later, you see |
| Their god is logic in which nothing is divisible |
| They stone the fake as he performs another miracle |
| Lying in the gutter with his life-blood spilling again |
| Oh, it’s a world growing colder |
| Life is a twin bladed knife |
| Oh, every child born a soldier |
| Fights but is blind to see the light |
| Beneath the surface lurks a nightmare or two |
| So dies a whale that broke the golden rule |
| She trusted man, in return she is torn from the sea |
| Treasure the loch secretly keeps |
| Rises from its peaceful primeval depth sleep |
| Two thousand years to a circus cage tragedy |
| Are we laboratory torturers of innocence? |
| Or are we circumstantial victims of our own pretence? |
| Killers of a world, systematically eaten away |
| Oh, it’s a world growing colder |
| Life is a twin bladed knife |
| Oh, every child born a soldier |
| Fights but is blind to see the light |
| Children of night are the dreamers |
| Carried away on a merciful sleep |
| Let them slumber on |
| For tomorrow comes the day |
| Unwanted life is the reason |
| Dawn and the gun finds them dead on the streets |
| Naked in the sun |
| Now the pain has gone away |
| But I don’t understand |
| Why only man |
| Brings suffering of this kind |
| Are we so blind |
| We can’t see the light? |
| It’s not too late, we could break down the fear |
| But choose indifference as the end draws near |
| Not long to wait, the «piece de resistance» is here |
| Chemical bombs, ashes to dust |
| Every living creature dies, buildings ain’t touched |
| It’s not abuse, they were never developed to use |
| I said a pointless civil war, a terrorist without a cause |
| It’s been so long that he’s forgotten what he’s fighting for |
| Everybody screams, only no one’s listening again |
| Oh, it’s a world growing colder |
| Life is a twin bladed knife |
| Oh, every child born a soldier |
| Fights but is blind to see |
| Oh, it’s a world on his shoulders |
| Now better run for your life |
| Oh, it’s a frightful disclosure |
| Search in your hearts to see the light |
| To see the light |
