The king is dead
|
Long live the king
|
|
Unbound slaves stand outside the gates
|
With lenghts of broken chains they wait
|
Empty stomachs filled with hate
|
|
No one told the heads of state
|
The prince of peace is sleeping late
|
|
Who will wait of lords and ladies,
|
Who will cry when they lose their mounts?
|
|
Sleeping through the hills of error
|
Waking in a reign of terror
|
|
Sleep, my baby sleep
|
Will you ever understand?
|
Once had a boy just like you
|
Once had my own to sing my troubles too
|
Once had a boy, I watched him grow
|
Once had my own, Lord I loved him so
|
|
I talk into love
|
I talk into care
|
I talk into light
|
I talk into shade
|
I watched him see and understand
|
And when he was afraid, I held his hand
|
|
I gave him hope, I gave him pride
|
But then I gave him to the world outside
|
|
Hey boy, where youy think you're going?
|
Hey boy, can't you ead the signs
|
Hey boy, you're s'pposed to call me mister
|
|
I'm a man now, I'm a man just like you,
|
So then you call me by my name,
|
You better call me by my name.
|
|
See him standing there outside the gate
|
His thoughts of meat confuses love with hate
|
Thinking I had joined the heads of state
|
|
No my son, you've got to wait
|
The prince of peace is not too late
|
|
I must stay with the lords and ladies
|
I must stay to protect their child
|
Rowing in a reign of terror
|
Maybe he will see his error
|
|
Sleep, my baby sleep
|
Love will make you understand
|
(Sleep, white baby sleep)
|
Sleep, white baby sleep
|
Love will make you understand.
