Drunken Lullabies
Folkaholics
Must it take a life for hateful eyes to glisten once again?
Five hundred years like Gelignite have blown us all to hell
What saviour rests while on his cross we die? Forgotten freedom burns
Has the Shepard led his lambs astray to the bigot and the gun?
Must it take a life for hateful eyes to glisten once again?
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess singin' drunken lullabies
I watch and stare as Rosin's eyes turn a darker shade of red
And the bullet with this sniper lie in their bloody gutless cell
Must we starve on crumbs from long ago through bars these men made steel?
Is it a great or little thing we fought? Knelt the conscience blessed to kill?
Must it take a life for hateful eyes to glisten once again?
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess singin' drunken lullabies
Ah, but maybe it`s the way you were taught
Ah, but maybe it`s the way we fought
But a smile never grins without tears to begin
For each kiss is a cry we all lost
Though nothing is left to gain but for the banshee that stole the grave
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess singin' drunken lullabies
I sit and dwell on faces past like memories seem to fade
No colour left but black and white and soon will all turn grey
But may these shadows rise to walk again with lessons truly learnt
When the blossom flowers in each our hearts shall beat a new found flame
Must it take a life for hateful eyes to glisten once again?
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess singin' drunken lullabies
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess singin' drunken lullabies
Singin' drunken lullabies
