Oh sweet peace, never have you fallen
|
Never have you fallen upon this town
|
Oh sweet peace, never have you fallen
|
Never have you fallen upon this town
|
|
The black crows are loaded
|
With the call of things discarded
|
The ribboned shard of battle
|
And everything burned
|
Have they forgotten we live here
|
Do they think that we gave up
|
Lay down and grew over
|
Weeds at every turn
|
|
Oh sweet peace, never have you fallen
|
Never have you fallen upon this town
|
Oh sweet peace, never have you fallen
|
Never have you fallen upon this town
|
|
I will not rest
|
Until this place is full of sunlight
|
Or at least until the darkness
|
Is quiet for a while
|
And we will not wait
|
For that murder to come calling
|
The night will simply fall
|
And the morning will rise
|
|
Oh sweet peace, never have you fallen
|
Never have you fallen upon this town
|
Oh sweet peace, when will you come calling
|
