作词 : Burns, Convertino | |
The plaza in the village | |
where mission bells used to ring | |
is now crumbled to a pile of stench and ruin | |
even the swallows have vanished | |
no longer return every spring | |
all the blossoms are buried | |
'neath the waste | |
out of the shadows grow hatred | |
along the corrider crawls fear | |
crushed by the promise of hope | |
that never returned | |
watched with a hawk's trained eye | |
the trees grow silent fruit | |
'neath a suffering sky | |
those who have stayed, keep a flame | |
in memory of the fallen | |
and pass on the old rites despite the risk | |
but many more have left here | |
on mended broken wings | |
turn to see your reaction | |
a tear drop fills your eye | |
but you protest not to give up or give in | |
heading straight for the wreckage | |
picking up a shovel and a hoe | |
start putting back the bricks one by one | |
numbers come out of the woodwork | |
curious to see the rebirth | |
above the swollen clouds | |
a strange sound fills the air | |
a silence never heard | |
falling like blessed rain | |
and the swallows return | |
as the mission bells ring |
