Beating drums through the night Flaming lights in the sky Marching feet, fisted hands For a cause I don't understand Hiding low and pray it will pass Maybe there'll be day at last Where the children used to play Lies broken glass and fields of clay All the good that is gone In this life that we're given My absolution seems not enough 'Cause still the tender turns to tough In desperation we try To understand why And the destruction that you bring Don't you know...? Will never solve a thing No truth, no religion No oath you are given No knowledge of history Can seem to reveal our mystery No faith and no writing No law and no fighting No decree and no hidden sign Can make us deny We are one and love is all Tell me when your task is done Show me now the victory won Will rock and stone start to sing? Bleeding wounds heal again? Oh... In desperation we try To understand why And the destruction that you bring Don't you know...? Will never solve a thing
