Redemption Day歌词

[00:32.39]I've wept for those who suffer long
[00:37.70]But how I weep for those who've gone
[00:40.95]
[00:42.89]Into rooms of grief and questioned wrong
[00:47.06]But keep on killing
[00:48.93]
[00:53.18]It's in the soul to feel such things
[00:56.93]
[00:58.30]But weak to watch without speaking
[01:01.91]
[01:03.48]Oh what mercy sadness brings
[01:07.40]If God be willing
[01:09.92]
[01:17.54]There is a train that's heading straight
[01:23.28]To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate
[01:27.95]And on the way, child and man,
[01:33.07]And woman wait, watch and wait
[01:37.94]
[01:40.74]For redemption day
[01:43.56]
[01:50.11]Fire rages in the streets
[01:53.72]
[01:55.29]And swallows everything it meets
[01:58.84]
[02:00.46]It's just an image often seen
[02:04.22]On television
[02:06.77]
[02:10.70]Come leaders, come you men of great
[02:14.39]
[02:15.87]Let us hear you pontificate
[02:19.38]
[02:20.88]Your many virtues laid to waste
[02:25.11]And we aren't listening
[02:27.30]
[02:36.34]What do you have for us today
[02:39.41]
[02:41.58]Throw us a bone but save the plate
[02:44.95]
[02:46.76]On why we waited til so late
[02:50.01]
[02:51.82]Was there no oil to excavate
[02:54.31]No riches in trade for the fate
[02:56.93]Of every person who died in hate
[02:59.49]Throw us a bone, you men of great
[03:03.49]There is a train that's heading straight
[03:08.30]To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate
[03:13.53]And on the way, child and man,
[03:18.47]And woman wait, watch and wait
[03:23.46]
[03:25.96]For redemption day
[03:28.88]
[03:43.31]It's buried in the countryside
[03:46.98]
[03:48.49]It's exploding in the shells at night
[03:51.86]
[03:53.60]It's everywhere a baby cries
[03:57.65]
[03:59.22]Freedom
