Sword In Our Name

from Songs of the Night by Michael Hanisch

/

lyrics

we were standing by the fire
we were standing hand in hand
we were burning with desire
we were burning our friend

all the people they were crying
all the people were ashamed
for we didnt try to save him
from the sword in our name

taken by the darkness
taken by the cold
we praise the vanity of gold
taken by the preacher
taken by the force
drowning in remorse


you can hear the burning branches
you can hear the screeching steam
and the fire fiercely dances
so how does it make you feel

well the fire it is burning
far off in a foreign land
and the gears of doom are turning
but in piety we stand

faces blackened by the power
bloody flowers in their eyes
what a shady bunch of cowards
what a dirty hunk of lies

taken by the darkness
taken by the cold
we praise the vanity of gold
taken by the preacher
taken by the storm
drowning in remorse
