 |
| When I first met you, didn't realize |
|
| I can't forget you, for your surprise |
|
| you introduced me, to my mind |
|
| And left me wanting, you and your kind |
|
| I love you, Oh you know it |
|
| My life was empty, forever on a down |
|
| Until you took me, showed me around |
|
| My life is free now, my life is clear |
|
| I love you sweet leaf, though you can't hear |
|
| Straight people don't know, what you're about |
|
| They put you down and shut you out |
|
| you gave to me a new belief |
|
| and soon the world will love you sweet leaf |
|
| Have you ever thought about your soul - can it be saved? |
|
| Or perhaps you think that when you're dead you just stay in your grave |
|
| Is God just a thought within your head or is he a part of you? |
|
| Is Christ just a name that you read in a book when you were in school? |
|
| When you think about death do you lose your breath or do you keep your cool? |
|
| Would you like to see the Pope on the end of a rope - do you think he's a fool? |
|
| Well I have seen the truth, yes I've seen the light and I've changed my ways |
|
| And I'll be prepared when you're lonely and scared at the end of our days |
|
| Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say |
|
| If they knew you believe in God above? |
|
| They should realize before they criticize |
|
| that God is the only way to love |
|
| Is your mind so small that you have to fall |
|
| In with the pack wherever they run |
|
| Will you still sneer when death is near |
|
| And say they may as well worship the sun? |
|
| I think it was true it was people like you that crucified Christ |
|
| I think it is sad the opinion you had was the only one voiced |
|
| Will you be so sure when your day is near, say you don't believe? |
|
| You had the chance but you turned it down, now you can't retrieve |
|
| Perhaps you'll think before you say that God is dead and gone |
|
| Open your eyes, just realize that he's the one |
|
| The only one who can save you now from all this sin and hate |
|
| Or will you still jeer at all you hear? Yes! I think it's too late. |
|
| Children of the Grave(5:23) |
|
| Revolution in their minds - the children start to march |
|
| Against the world in which they have to live |
|
| and all the hate that's in their hearts |
|
| They're tired of being pushed around |
|
| They'll fight the world until they've won |
|
| and love comes flowing through |
|
| Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today |
|
| Will the sun rise up tomorrow bringing peace in any way? |
|
| Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear? |
|
| Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear? |
|
| So you children of the world, |
|
| If you want a better place to live in |
|
| Show the world that love is still alive |
|
| Or you children of today are |
|
| Children of the Grave, Yeah! |
|
| You're searching for your mind don't know where to start |
|
| can't find the key to fit the lock on your heart |
|
| you think you know but you are never quite sure |
|
| your soul is ill but you will not find a cure. |
|
| Your world was made for you by someone above |
|
| but you chose evil ways instead of love. |
|
| You made me master of the world where you exist |
|
| the soul I took from you was not even missed. |
|
| My future is shrouded in dark wilderness |
|
| Sunshine is far away, clouds linger on |
|
| Everything I posessed - Now they are gone |
|
| Oh where can I go to and what can I do? |
|
| Nothing can please me only thoughts are of you |
|
| You just laughed when I begged you to stay |
|
| I've not stopped crying since you went away |
|
| The world is a lonely place - you're on your own |
|
| Guess I will go home - sit down and moan. |
|
| Crying and thinking is all that I do |
|
| Memories I have remind me of you |
|
| Rocket engines burning fuel so fast |
|
| Up into the night sky they blast |
|
| Through the universe the engines whine |
|
| Could it be the end of man and time |
|
| Back on earth the flame of life burns low |
|
| Everywhere is misery and woe |
|
| Pollution kills the air, the land and sea |
|
| Man prepares to meet his destiny |
|
| Rocket engines burning fuel so fast |
|
| Up into the night sky so vast |
|
| Burning metal through the atmosphere |
|
| Earth remains in worry, hate and fear |
|
| With the hateful battles raging on |
|
| rockets flying to the glowing sun |
|
| Through the empires of eternal void |
|
| Freedom from the final suicide |
|
| Freedom fighters sent out to the sun |
|
| escape from brainwashed minds and pollution. |
|
| Leave the earth to all its sin and hate |
|
| find another world where freedom waits. |
|
| Past the stars in fields of ancient void |
|
| Through the shields of darkness where they find |
|
| Love upon a land a world unknown |
|
| where the sons of freedom make their home |
|
| Leave the earth to Satan and his slaves |
|
| leave them to their future in the grave |
|
| Make a home where love is there to stay |
|
