Ivory Madonna, dying in the dust |
|
Waiting for the manna, coming from the west |
|
Barren is her bosom, empty as her eyes |
|
Death a certain harvest, scattered from the skies |
|
'Skin and Bones' is creeping, doesn't know he's dead |
|
Ancient eyes are peeping, from his infant head |
|
Politicians argue, sharpening their knives |
|
Drawing up their bargains, trading baby lives |
|
Ivory Madonna, dying in the dust |
|
Waiting for the manna, coming from the west |
|
Hear the bells are ringing, Christmas on it's way |
|
Hear the angels singing, what is that they say? |
|
Eat and drink rejoicing, joy is here to stay |
|
Jesus Son of Mary, born again today |
|
Ivory Madonna, dying in the dust |
|
Waiting for the manna, coming from the west |
|
Ivory Madonna, dying in the dust |
|
Waiting for the manna, coming from the west |
