Oh sweet peace, never have you fallen |
|
Never have you fallen upon this town |
|
Oh sweet peace, never have you fallen |
|
Never have you fallen upon this town |
|
The black crows are loaded |
|
With the call of things discarded |
|
The ribboned shard of battle |
|
And everything burned |
|
Have they forgotten we live here |
|
Do they think that we gave up |
|
Lay down and grew over |
|
Weeds at every turn |
|
Oh sweet peace, never have you fallen |
|
Never have you fallen upon this town |
|
Oh sweet peace, never have you fallen |
|
Never have you fallen upon this town |
|
I will not rest |
|
Until this place is full of sunlight |
|
Or at least until the darkness |
|
Is quiet for a while |
|
And we will not wait |
|
For that murder to come calling |
|
The night will simply fall |
|
And the morning will rise |
|
Oh sweet peace, never have you fallen |
|
Never have you fallen upon this town |
|
Oh sweet peace, when will you come calling |
|
When will you come calling upon this town |
