A king without a sword A land without a king The truth without a voice One song left to sing One song to sing A wise man told me theres something you should know The way you judge a man is to look into his soul And youll soon see everything. A voice from the past cried "give peace a chance." He paid our price now hes free at last And imagine we called him a dreamer. How many times must good men die? How many tears will the children cry? Till we suffer no more sadness Stop the madness, Oh stop the madness. If ashes are ashes and dust is dust And our journeys end and then we turn to rust To the sands of the shore White doves then fly Peace to all Tell me why the peacemakers fall Must we bury anymore A hush in the crowd as the horse rode by Black lace veil hid the tears from her eyes And we all wept in silence How many times must good men die? How many times will the children cry? Till we suffer no more sadness Oh stop the madness Oh stop all the madness.
