Drunken Lullabies
Lyrics:
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
To glisten once again
Five
hundred years like Gelignite
Have blown us all to hell
What savior
rests while on his cross we die
Forgotten freedom burns
Has the
Shepard led his lambs astray
to the bigot and the gun
Must it
take a life for hateful eyes
To glisten once again
Cause we find
ourselves in the same old mess
Singin' drunken lullabies
I
watch and stare as Rosin`s eyes
Turn a darker shade of red
And the
bullet with this sniper lie
In their bloody gutless cell
Must we
starve on crumbs from long ago
Through these bars of men made steel
Is it a great or little thing we fought
Knelt the conscience blessed
to kill
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
To glisten once
again
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin' drunken
lullabies
Ah, but maybe it`s the way you were taught
Or maybe
it`s the way we fought
But a smile never grins without tears to begin
For each kiss is a cry we all lost
Though there is nothing left to
gain
But for the banshee that stole the grave
Cause we find
ourselves in the same old mess
Singin' drunken lullabies
I sit
in and dwell on faces past
Like memories seem to fade
No colour
left but black and white
And soon will all turn grey
But may these
shadows rise to walk again
With lessons truly learnt
When the
blossom flowers in each our hearts
Shall beat a new found flame
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
To glisten once again
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin' drunken
lullabies
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin'
drunken lullabies
Singin' drunken lullabies
