lyrics

Lyrics :

He was the rock of old carved and faced
Land of the cross drawn and traced
She of silk and lace soft as night
A crescent moon bathed in light

Who would dare tear them apart
Who would try to halve this heart

How can we stand to hold up a man
To choose in his hand between two grains of sand
How can we turn to violence and burn
Forget all we've learned to darkness return

Its been told before I'll tell it again
How jealousy struck and hate did gain
To plunder once once and for all
This cherished pearl until sorrow falls

They stole in and crept like thieves
A murder buried under autumn leaves

How can we stand to hold up a man
To choose in his hand between two grains of sand
How can we turn to violence and burn
Forget all we've learned to darkness return

Too pure to shine in this world of sighs
Of butchers and crimes of laws and lies
But something of their love will remain
In the frozen drops of winter’s rain

They're above us there is no doubt
There is a light that won't go out out

How can we stand to hold up a man
To choose in his hand between two grains of sand
How can we turn to violence and burn
Forget all we've learned to darkness return

If my songs were maps I'd want them to stretch from the English moors to the Saharan dunes via the plains of the Mediterranean.
