Redemption Day
I've wept for those who suffer longBut how I weep for those who've goneInto rooms of grief and questioned wrongBut keep on killing
It's in the soul to feel such thingsBut weak to watch without speakingOh what mercy sadness bringsIf God be willing
There is a train that's heading straightTo heaven's gate, to heaven's gateAnd on the way, child and man,And woman wait, watch and waitFor redemption day
Fire rages in the streetsAnd swallows everything it meetsIt's just an image often seenOn televisionCome leaders, come you men of greatLet us hear you pontificateYour many virtues laid to wasteAnd we aren't listening
There is a train that's heading straightTo heaven's gate, to heaven's gateAnd on the way, child and man,And woman wait, watch and waitFor redemption day
What do you have for us today?Throw us a bone but save the plateOn why we waited til so lateWas there no oil to excavateNo riches in trade for the fateOf every person who died in hateThrow us a bone, you men of great
There is a train that's heading straightTo heaven's gate, to heaven's gateAnd on the way, child and man,And woman wait, watch and waitFor redemption day
It's buried in the countrysideIt's exploding in the shells at nightIt's everywhere a baby criesFreedomFreedomFreedom
