Magna Charter |
| Write the rules for the games we play |
| Carved in stone for a future time |
| Broken pieces thrown away |
| Broken pieces that are mine |
| Hope in words so nearly true |
| Peaceful times are long unseen |
| Promises I give to you |
| Only I know what they mean |
| Charter for a freedom lost |
| Made by man who knows not why |
| Leaving youth to count the cost |
| They only suffer times gone by |
| It would never be the same |
| If ruler lived beyond his past |
| He would have to live his game |
| And speed of truth is never fast |
| Should there ever be a charter |
| With words to change the course of man |
| To give us peace and hope and understanding |
| And take us back to where it all began |
| The sword is still the only answer |
| The loudest sound that can be heard |
| The scream of silence as the fear grows stronger |
| Hear the people |
| Cry to no-one |
| No-one hears their words |
| And so |
| Time moves on |
| A war |
| Waged in words |
| With Kings and Church and common man |
| But no winner |
| Or beginner |
| Can understand the battle plan |
| But the battle never lasts long |
| Even though it is an old song |
| And the singer never sings the same old verse |
| Turn the melody to war chant |
| Change the flowers into warplants |
| Kill them all |
| Just to swell the purse |
| Pray to the Father |
| Peace ever after |
| Only love |
| Up above |
| Glory to the war |
| So for peace we wage a war |
| As in war we fight for peace |
| Death to all, be rich or poor |
| Comes in such a bloody feast |
| Will they meet in a future time? |
| Will it happen yet again? |
| Only God knows the truth they say |
| Only He is ahead of our time |
| Where is the charter made for love? |
| Where is the charter for killing war? |
| Sadly hidden in the warrior’s glove |
| Making light for ever more |
| Magna Charter shows a path |
| Over which no truth can stray |
| Floating as a neutral craft along its way |
| Should there ever be a charter |
| With words to change the course of man |
| To give us peace and hope and understanding |
| And take us back to where it all began |
| The sword is still the only answer |
| The loudest sound that can be heard |
| The screams of silence as the fear grows stronger |
| Hear the people |
| Cry to no-one |
| No-one hears their words |
