Distant Shore |
| An ancient battle |
| In an ancient land |
| Swept away with anger |
| Through the streets, they ran |
| Block to block |
| House to house |
| Man to man |
| They fought hand to hand |
| And war, begat war |
| All on a distant shore |
| Who are they? |
| The people that they seek |
| Innocent or guilty? |
| For harm and injury |
| Not the young |
| Not the old |
| It’s hard to find |
| The truth untold |
| (Spooky noises) |
| Crucify them, Crucify them! |
| They did shout |
| All would suffer |
| There would be no doubt |
| That war begat war |
| All on a distant shore |
| Hidden in the back |
| Behind all their anger |
| There stands greed |
| And all that it needs |
| Greed for the money |
| Greed for the power |
| Many will die |
| For few to realize |
| (More spooks!) |
| Mercy, mercy! |
| The angels cried |
| Remember the lies |
| Of those that die |
| Cause war begat war |
| All on a distant shore |
| Just because they say it |
| Doesn’t make it so |
| Some day they’ll see that |
| Then they’ll fight no more |
| Cause war begat war |
| War begat war |
| On a distant shore |
| Someday they’ll see it |
| And they’ll fight no more |
| Cause war begat war |
| (Just because they say it) |
| (Doesn't make it so) |
| (Some day they’ll see that) |
| (Then they’ll fight no more) |
| Mmmmm |
