Skyclad - A Broken Promised Land Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • See the red "messiah" high upon a soap-box pulpit
  • Agitating his apostles with the gospels in his hand
  • While apprentice hitlers gather down in inner city subways
  • To immortalise their ignorance with aerosol spray cans.
  • Life is the lesson - History our tutor
  • Learn from the past - preserve us a future.
  • So many causes I could die for - but I don't know which is right
  • In this millenia of martyrs and injustices to fight
  • Why must brother kill his brother - when united they should stand?
  • Men by swords and words divided in our broken promised land.
  • These tattered battle standards fly - their colours do not run
  • Unlike our tears that trickle down the decades soon to come.
  • You promised us a "Golden Age" - we couldn't wait to try it
  • But never told us of the blood we'd have to shed to buy it!
  • Chorus:
  • We are brought forth with nothing we struggle for nothing
  • And then unto nothing return.
  • Though their words have no meaning - to question them: "Treason!"
  • Look back - watch the pages of history burn
  • Our Devil has two wings (both left wing and right)
  • They carry him far on this anarchic flight
  • 'Til the fools of all nations now at his commmand
  • Bring darkness to once green (now unpleasant) lands.
  • The voices on your TV are like whispers in a dream
  • Someone else's nightmares in a place you've never been
  • But the streets run red round Tianneman Square - and the blood won't wash away
  • You don't recognise their faces - so young and dead they stay.
  • You've never had to answer to the barrel of a gun
  • So how could you expect... (expect what was to come?)
  • In the troubled streets of Moscow - and in tenements in Moss Side
  • There are people using silver tongues to turn dissenting worms
  • How can the dissatisfaction of some left or right wing faction
  • Hope to justify the bombs that burst - the innocents that burn.
  • We move in vicious circles as we fan the fires of hate
  • And laugh as the 'Four Horsemen' clamour at the starter's gate.
  • REPEAT CHORUS
  • Preserve us a future
