Procol Harum
Letra

Álbum: Novum ( 2017)

Intro:

Verse:

  The sky has no end tonight 

 Clear view beyond the stars 

  Daylight in the early dawn 

  There s no-one left unscarred 

  Sand is drying up the tears 

Burnt shells soaking up the sun 

The generals laughing  

With no fear 

Because their work is done 

Verse:

Liquid gold was in their sights 

Paid with blood by infantry 

  Giant statues ripped and torn 

All engineered so brilliantly 

  Back home it s the Wild West 

Children sleeping in their beds 

Grown men  

That passed the test 

Now free to go and wed 

I m through with the fighting  

All the terror and the pain 

I ve seen the lightning 

Felt the thunder  

And the rain 

The silver birds come screaming 

Painting blood right through the skies 

Still I worry,  

And I wonder 

Wonder why 

Verse:

They tell us it s O-K to kill 

  They re just vermin in the sand 

  Don t worry  bout the blood you spill 

You ll be forgiven by God s hand 

  Images etched behind their eyes 

  Will never fade away 

Eternal buildings turned to dust 

In just one day 

I m through with the fighting  

All the terror and the pain 

I ve seen the lightning 

Felt the thunder  

And the rain 

The silver birds come screaming 

Painting blood right through the skies 

Still I worry,  

And I wonder 

Wonder why 

I m through with the fighting  

All the terror and the pain 

I ve seen the lightning 

Felt the thunder  

And the rain 

The silver birds come screaming 

Painting blood right through the skies 

Still I worry,  

And I wonder 

Wonder why
