Resurrection Band - Land Of Stolen Breath lyrics
[Resurrection Band - Land Of Stolen Breath lyrics]
Dust along the broken road
Chokes the golden sun
In the land of stolen breath a shot
Rings out from a child's gun
And chaos rains without a tear
Upon unburied treasures here
They find no honour or respect in
The land of stolen breath
A woman sold tea in the square
And brought the pennies home
But not today her pennies lay
Beside her on the stone her children wait
The shadows fall on hopes for her return
They wait to hear a lullaby
They have not yet learned
And chaos rains without a tear
Upon unburied treasures here
They find no honour or respect in
The land of stolen breath
And chaos rains without a tear
Upon unburied treasures here
They find no honour or respect in
The land of stolen breath
He took sides with bread and bullets
In no man's land, he's an orphan king
Father died in diseased abandon
Power owns what widows bring
Townships float upon the sea of
Human greed and misery
The deserts feed on refugees - we
Watch it all on TV
Pure religion is just this: to greet
The widow with a kiss feed the orphan
Love the poor of these bloody civil wars
And chaos rains without a tear
Upon unburied treasures here
They find no honour or respect in
The land of stolen breath
And chaos reigns without a tear
Upon unburied treasures here
They find no profit, just neglect
In the land of stolen breath
Stolen breath stolen
Chokes the golden sun
In the land of stolen breath a shot
Rings out from a child's gun
And chaos rains without a tear
Upon unburied treasures here
They find no honour or respect in
The land of stolen breath
A woman sold tea in the square
And brought the pennies home
But not today her pennies lay
Beside her on the stone her children wait
The shadows fall on hopes for her return
They wait to hear a lullaby
They have not yet learned
And chaos rains without a tear
Upon unburied treasures here
They find no honour or respect in
The land of stolen breath
And chaos rains without a tear
Upon unburied treasures here
They find no honour or respect in
The land of stolen breath
He took sides with bread and bullets
In no man's land, he's an orphan king
Father died in diseased abandon
Power owns what widows bring
Townships float upon the sea of
Human greed and misery
The deserts feed on refugees - we
Watch it all on TV
Pure religion is just this: to greet
The widow with a kiss feed the orphan
Love the poor of these bloody civil wars
And chaos rains without a tear
Upon unburied treasures here
They find no honour or respect in
The land of stolen breath
And chaos reigns without a tear
Upon unburied treasures here
They find no profit, just neglect
In the land of stolen breath
Stolen breath stolen
