THE LOST PARADE
|
Written by R. Stonehill
|
Featuring The Salvation Army Horns, Los Angeles Chapter:
|
The sun is sinking down
|
On the lost parade
|
And all along the dirty street
|
Tattered banners wave
|
A hollow victory song
|
Is ringing in our ears
|
Drowning out the voices that we fear
|
|
And the big rock spins in space
|
In it's lonely circle dance
|
Like a ghostly ballerina
|
Trapped within her trance
|
And we praise the feast of fools
|
And we shun the Bread of Life
|
And the stars shine like the tears of God
|
For the weary world tonight
|
|
Clothed in flesh and bone
|
Masters of disguise
|
With rage beneath the painted smiles
|
Fear behind our eyes
|
And time's rushing wings
|
Shadow all the days
|
Descending like relentless birds of prey
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
