|
Silent rows of strength thy men stood clear |
|
The fog clung to the ground, to the sounds it could hear |
|
The footstep, the hoof beat, the steel under sky |
|
The whistle, the bird call, the severe look in the eyes |
|
He's nineteen years old, he's got a gun at his side |
|
The more he looks around, he knows the president lied |
|
Seduced him, reduced him, appealed to the man |
|
With vivid colored fliers and bright arm bands |
|
They will meet them in the trenches but they won't meet eye to eye |
|
Looking down the barrels the opposition will cry |
|
There's hatred in the morning, blood flows in the day |
|
They will all return home and the skies will give way for |
|
Rain, it flows down |
|
Cleansing, freedom, children |
|
Rain |
|
There's disdain, propane, powder and shot |
|
Racism runs free but love is left to rot |
|
There's a mad house, a play house, a place for the old |
|
Got a place for the hungry and a place for the cold |
|
I'm diving, I'm sinking down into the sea |
|
It will rise up to heaven and come back down on me as |
|
Yes, rain, it flows down |
|
Cleansing, freedom, children |
|
Rain |
|
She walks into the garage, pulls the door to the ground |
|
Eases behind the wheel and she puts the seat down |
|
Ignition, submissions, salute, it's time to send |
|
Her poor grieving parents will never see her again |
|
It's late night, there's pistols, there's daggers and drugs |
|
I'll kill nine, I'll take mine, no police, no mugs |
|
It's Greenwich, it's Dallas, it's Beverly Hills |
|
Blood lives taken for sweet, short thrills |
|
Rain, it flows down |
|
Cleansing, freedom, children |
|
Rain |
|
There's disdain, propane, powder and shot |
|
Racism runs free but love is left to rot |
|
There's a mad house, a play house, a place for the old |
|
Got a place for the hungry and a place for the cold |
|
I'm diving, I'm sinking down into the sea |
|
It will rise up to heaven and come back down on me as |
|
Rain, it flows down |
|
Cleansing, freedom, children |
|
Rain |
|
Home life |
|
Her show, skylight |
|
Rain |
