Nina Hagen - Redemption Day lyrics
[Nina Hagen - Redemption Day lyrics]
I've wept for those who suffered long
But how I weep for those who've gone
Into rooms of grief and questioned wrong
But keep on killing
It the soul to feel such things
But weak to watch without speaking
Oh, what Mercy sadness brings
If God is willing
There's a train that's heading straight
To Heaven's Gate to Heaven's Gate
And on the way child and man
And woman wait watch and wait
For redemption day
Fire rages in the streets
It swallows everything it meets
It's just an image often seen
On television, on television
Come leaders comе, you men of "great"
Let us hеar you pontificate
Your many virtues laid to waste
And we aren't listening
There's a train that's heading straight
To Heaven's Gate to Heaven's Gate
And on the way child and man
And woman wait watch and wait
For redemption day oh, yeah
What do you have for us today
Throw us a bone but save the plate
Why we waited 'til so late
Was there no oil to excavate
No riches in trade for the fate
Of every person who died in hate
Throw us a bone, you men of "great"
There's a train that's heading straight
To Heaven's Gate to Heaven's Gate
And on the way child and man
And woman wait watch and wait
For redemption day
It's buried in the
It's exploding in the shells at night
It's everywhere a baby cries
Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom freedom
But how I weep for those who've gone
Into rooms of grief and questioned wrong
But keep on killing
It the soul to feel such things
But weak to watch without speaking
Oh, what Mercy sadness brings
If God is willing
There's a train that's heading straight
To Heaven's Gate to Heaven's Gate
And on the way child and man
And woman wait watch and wait
For redemption day
Fire rages in the streets
It swallows everything it meets
It's just an image often seen
On television, on television
Come leaders comе, you men of "great"
Let us hеar you pontificate
Your many virtues laid to waste
And we aren't listening
There's a train that's heading straight
To Heaven's Gate to Heaven's Gate
And on the way child and man
And woman wait watch and wait
For redemption day oh, yeah
What do you have for us today
Throw us a bone but save the plate
Why we waited 'til so late
Was there no oil to excavate
No riches in trade for the fate
Of every person who died in hate
Throw us a bone, you men of "great"
There's a train that's heading straight
To Heaven's Gate to Heaven's Gate
And on the way child and man
And woman wait watch and wait
For redemption day
It's buried in the
It's exploding in the shells at night
It's everywhere a baby cries
Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom freedom
