Be sure to meet your enemies with open eyes When you answer drums of war - with a lullaby When battlefields they come alive - you know you cannot hide But he who knows your fears - is the man inside Walk a beaten track - knock on any door There are no glittering prices for you to score As if there was an hourglass where time was running out You hurry seeking shelter from the angry crowd
In silent graveyards - they look for saviors - A promised land beyond the prayers A land where all the suffering is gone - And nothing will bring you down While the road to desolation lingers on
People turn to hatred for what's hard to understand No love for he who is different than the common man With the echoes of the ancient bouncing down the aisle In dark forgotten corners you found saints - keep crying
In silent graveyards - they look for saviors - A promised land beyond the prayers A land where all the suffering is gone - And no one will bring you down While the road to desolation lingers on
