Redemption Day歌词

I've wept for those who suffer long
But how I weep for those who've gone

Into rooms of grief and questioned wrong
But keep on killing

It's in the soul to feel such things

But weak to watch without speaking

Oh what mercy sadness brings
If God be willing

There is a train that's heading straight
To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate
And on the way, child and man,
And woman wait, watch and wait

For redemption day

Fire rages in the streets

And swallows everything it meets

It's just an image often seen
On television

Come leaders, come you men of great

Let us hear you pontificate

Your many virtues laid to waste
And we aren't listening

What do you have for us today

Throw us a bone but save the plate

On why we waited til so late

Was there no oil to excavate
No riches in trade for the fate
Of every person who died in hate
Throw us a bone, you men of great
There is a train that's heading straight
To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate
And on the way, child and man,
And woman wait, watch and wait

For redemption day

It's buried in the countryside

It's exploding in the shells at night

It's everywhere a baby cries

Freedom
