I speak from a place, where some talk of signs
Tired superstitions, to drown out the lies
Dark clouds have gathered, to block out the sun
All of our sins, to judge us in turn
Mothers and daughters, fathers and sons
Would any be counted, to take up the cause
If we can't imagine, that the hour is near
Then all of our sins, won't fade with the tears
Do you hear the drums, of the warmonger's charge
Who feeds on the blood, of our youngest and brave
Throw oil on the fires, turn friend against friend
All of our sins, consume us in flame
I hope you know, I hope you can see
The march is beginning, all over again
Will we ever learn, will we ever know peace
Before all of our sins, drag us to the deep
Can you not see them, there's blood on their hands
They rape and they murder, for pleasure and gain
The harbinger comes, in blazes of gold
With fear and destruction, a haven for none
What would it take, to force us to act
Before visions have faded, and hope is worn out
Would we strive to be better, could we learn from the past
For all of our sins, atonement at last
For the sake of our conscience, for the sake of our souls
To never more suffer, peace without end
Or will we pass silent, into the great night
When all of our sins, will lie with the dust
Tell me their names, tell me their names
Look into their eyes, what do you see
Do you see their pain, and look blindly away
Do you hear their voices, do you hear their screams
And do you not suffer, do you know no shame
All those around you, would banish you away
I hope that the cries, haunt you till the end
All of your sins, you can't wash away
For the sake of our conscience, for the sake of our souls
To never more suffer, peace without end
Or will we pass silent, into the great night
When all of our sins, will lie with the dust
For the sake of our conscience, for the sake of our souls
To never more suffer, peace without end
Distant thunder, promising to make it’s way, along with the rain and lightening, here sooner than later. Here’s hoping it won’t mean another 6” of rain, last night’s deposit.😲
'Death of a Ladies' Man.' Leonard Cohen, track 4 (I think), 'Memories', a great track anyway but there's a sax solo in the instrumental break which blows me away every time.
What are you listening to?
